Class of 2026 Mid Distance and Distance Runner Recruits

Thanks! Alana is headed to University of Cincinnati. Do you know of anymore?

Luca Caruso [2:03.39 (800) / 4:26.66 (1600) / 9:24.29 (3200) ] - Georgia Tech 05-25-26

There are more out there I missed

Lucia Pearson [2:14.71 (800) / 4:50.98 (1600) / 10:43.00 (3200) / 10:42.15 (2 Mile) ] - UC Santa Barbara 05-04-26

Eleanor Laura Barco [2:15.19 (800) / 4:53.87 (1600) / 4:55.47 (1 Mile) / 10:43.38 (3200) ] - Williams 10-20-25

Atarah Robinson [2:09.56 (800) / 4:39.22 (1500) / 4:46.50 (1600) / 4:54.11 (1 Mile) / 10:53.65 (3200) ] - Hawaii 12-10-25

Tibbie Mustacchia [2:15.45 (800) / 4:53.95 (1600) / 10:45.81 (3200) ] - Dartmouth 12-15-25

The aforementioned Allana Williams

Alanna Williams [2:09.88 (800) / 4:32.21 (1500) / 4:50.96 (1600) / 4:50.03 (1 Mile) / 11:03.27 (3200) ] - Cincinatti 05-07-26

Liesel Sellerberg [2:15.73 (800) / 4:53.45 (1600) ] - Annapolis 10-02-25

Brooke Samuelson [2:09.75 (800) / 4:39.15 (1500) / 4:52.75 (1600) / 4:56.92 (1 Mile) / 10:47.24 (3200) ] - Air Force 09-09-25

I also saw Madilynn Conklin to (4:54) Missouri State and Abagail Baurmann (4:52) to Michigan Tech.

But virtually everyone up to about 4:55 seems to have committed in class of 26.

Alana Clarke [2:23.98 (800) / 5:03.55 (1600) / 10:49.04 (3200) ] - UC Santa Barbara 11-19-25
Maggie De Larionda [2:22.44 (800) / 5:00.05 (1600) / 10:42.13 (3200) ] - UC Santa Barbara 11-19-25

I continue to stumble on some I had not yet seen. If only there was some formalized process or central list.......

Brady Rach [1:53.57 (800) / 4:19.74 (1600) / 9:37.91 (3200) ] - North Dakota State 12-05-26

Have not seen anything that I’m aware of, but now that the transfer portal is open, are there any significant runners planning to leave their schools? I’m already hearing of someone transferring to a Big Ten school from within the conference.

I believe these are correct but the commitment date are both another WAG.

Caden Durocher [1:49.74 (800) / 4:07.81 (1600) / 9:22.06 (3200) ] - Washington 05-01-26
Amin Fidaar [1:49.74 (800) / 3:52.48 (1500) / 4:04.57 (1600) / 4:13.34 (1 Mile) / 9:21.08 (3200) ] - Washington 05-01-26

I do not think Ryder Ortner (1:50.38) has committed.

Name?

Nick Gilles should come home to Minnesota

I saw an indication that Noel Huato (1:55.09, 4:09.13, 8:57.90) is heading to somewhere in the Big West conference but I have not pinned it down.

Christiaan Franken 1:48.7 to ok st.
