Tragic loss! There was two iconic coaches who every time I listened to them speak would motivate me to run through a wall, Joe Newton was one, and the other was Joe Vigil! RIP! Thank you for inspiring coaches and athletes alike and pushing us all to be better at our craft!
Sad to learn the news that legendary distance coach Joe Vigil, who mentored countless coaches over the years, passed away earlier today. His impact on the sport spanned several decades. May he Rest In Peace. 🕊️🙏🏼 #EarnedHisWings

Noah could probably run that backwards or in a three legged race with Kenny
De La Salle sprinter and California state champion @JadenJefferson_ previously committed to the University of North Carolina and head coach Bill Belichick. He’s back on campus for another visit. One year of high school still to go! 🔥
📸 GREAT NEWS! 📸 Photographer @jeffturner has completed his editing of two massive photo albums from state meet weekend and is making images available for free download! There's an album for each day and features LOADS of great shots! Here's the link! prepcaltrack.com/2025/06/13/jef…




the meteorologist who devised the windchill factor has died. he was 86. but he felt like 75.
San Diego High's Anisa Bowen-Fontenot wins the Brooks PR meet girls 100-meter hurdles in 13.19 — just one week after racing 13.07 to win the California state meet in the third-fastest California time ever. Great season.
Jane Hedengren's 9:17.75 for 2 miles or Michael Carter's 81-3 1/2 in the shot put — which is the greatest HS track and field performance ever? Only one way to sort it out: Stick 'em both inside the octagon and let them fight it out. ... I don't like Michael's chances. 🥶
After standing for 29 years, Michael Granville's national high school record in the 800 meters is no more. Texas prep sophomore phenom Cooper Lutkenhaus won the Brooks PR Meet today in a stunning 1:46.26 to shave 0.19 seconds off the previous record!
In another sweet performance, @Servite_XC_TF freshman @Jaelen Hunter wins the boys 400-meter dash at the Brooks PR meet in 46.62!
COMPLETELY ABSURD!!! Timpview of Utah’s Jane Hedengren broke the 2-mile national record at Arcadia at 9:34 and change. Today, she just annihilated anything & everything with an unfathomable 9:17.75!!! Sorry Michael Carter, your shot put record is no longer the most impressive!
Stephen A is ALL of us seeing that result… absolutely unreal performance by Jane Hedengren
BREAKING: Jane Hedengren of Utah breaks the high school girls’ national record in the mile in 4:23.50 at the Festival of Miles in Missouri. Hanne Thomsen, the California state 3200m champion, placed second in 4:35.63 (that’s #5 state all-time in the 1600/mile converted list)! 🔥
