Class of 2026 Mid Distance and Distance Runner Recruits

Love to see it, excellent haul after seeing Wake Forest get some studs, Rocky Hansen, JoJo Jourdan, Hunter Jones, etc.

Excited to see this core build with Robert Mechura and Joe Barret as well as younger Strand.

Next up, Gavin Schmitt??

admittedly the 3200 time seems out of step with the others

Preston Sangely [1:49.64 (800) / 4:06.83 (1600) / 4:04.95 (1 Mile) / 8:58.78 (3200) ] - Lenoir-Rhyne 05-01-26

I also see Brendan Cutler (1:51.87) will try to walk on at Ohio State

BTW I am trying to figure out a simple way for my google document listing to be "discoverable" via a web search. I tried "publishing" it but that does not seem to do the trick. But I am open to ideas, or I could just leave things as is - anyone who has the link (presumably thru LRC) - can view it.

Any girls still available in the 2026 class around sub 5:00 for 1600m, sub 2:10 for 800m, or sub 10:40 for 3200m? Looking for names that may still be unsigned or late in the process.

I have never seen a commitment for these 2. Maybe they have but if so it is very quiet.
