Class of 2026 Mid Distance and Distance Runner Recruits

This and prior similar threads have been for basically 800 and up. By all means start one for sprinters......

Wiese, Faith [2:16.67 (800) / 4:56.40 (1600) / 10:35.40 (3200) ] - South Dakota State

This was suggested earlier

Well I am not seeing where I look, although:

I had Josh(ua) Sharp Penn State.

Found Yendri Ruiz in online news story

Ruiz, Yendri [1:51.62 (800) ] - Connecticut

which led me to

Martin, Kaitlynn [2:19.76 (800) / 4:37.26 (1500) / 10:22.27 (3000) / 10:48.53 (2 Mile) ] - Connecticut

Suriano, Alyssa [2:14.75 (800) / 5:02.21 (1600) / 10:59.99 (3200) ] - Connecticut

(already had Hayley Martin)

Search by athlete is less arduous than search by school. But probably search by school finds more.

This site has missed a lot I have
