Class of 2026 Mid Distance and Distance Runner Recruits

Kyle Jakary - Jesuit CA - Cal Poly

UCLA gets another one for their 2026 class … Ava Decleve (Santa Cruz, CA).

Chase Gilbert (CT) announced her commitment to UVA yesterday.

Virginia Tech got both Sofi Alexander and Kasey Dingman from NC

Sofi Alexander (2:15, 4:50, 10:21)

Kasey Dingman (2:12, 4:48, 10:31)

Thanks for being accurate/

I have updated some prs which have improved since the commitment (mostly from the Brooks entries), with red font. I no doubt have missed some though so feel free to point out those I missed preferably noting the new pr. Ditto for the 2025 sheet in which I am very certain I have missed quite a lot of improvements.

Rowan Saacke (TX) has given her commitment to CU.

Arkansas got another good one here!

CA State Champ in the 1600 and 4x800. #1 miler in the Country for the Class of 2026. Braelyn Combe is a Razorback, joining the Herbst Twins (2025) and Gabbie Bishop (2026)

I played with some formulas to automate this listing which lists available 800/1600 or 1 mile/3200 or 2 mile times (so for those with only 1500 and/or 3000 it lists nothing). need to figure out how to paste it here without wrap.

Lilly Beshears 4:44 1600m, 4:46;mile, 10:03 3200m

appreciate the update on her prs. Most of what I show are as of the commitment date but I will update when given info. btw Jaelyn Williams has committed to Stanford.

why would someone downvote this post??? They are good times, and accurate as well (I checked).

I think I have all prs up to date. Worked on getting this summary better and more complete.
