Some thoughts on summer mileage program.
Have you considered cross country?
Cross Country is offered in over 16,500 high schools and many junior high schools. It normally goes from mid-August to November for most. To prepare for cross country, we at RunBlogRun encourage you and your 550,000 closest friends who like the 400m to 5,000m, consider cross country!
It is a great way to stay in shape and it builds your fitness so that you are ready for the challenges of cross country.
What motivated Steve Prefontaine in the summer between his sophomore and junior year?
Was it the knowledge that he had not done his very best in track and field? Perhaps, he had not taken his commitment as serious as he thought he should?
When you have not achieved what you expected, how do you respond? Are you being called to put in some more effort? Many of us have had those challenges, and Summer mileage is a great program to get one self focused.
Think about five things you can do better for fall cross country, write them on a post card, and tape it to a place in your room where you will see it at least once a day!
Remember to drink 8 glasses of water, 12 ounces each a day!
This week is the 50th NIKE Pre Classic. You will be able to watch it on Saturday, July 5, around 4 PM Eastern on NBC Sports and Peacock. It is a wonderous meet, celebrating the raw talent, courage and guts of one Steve Prefontaine. When Pre was in high school, after he failed to make his State track meet as a sophomore, he became obsessed with daily training. These were not just easy runs, they were bone-churning, gut-wrenching efforts focused to make him unbeatable. In his junior year of cross country, Pre saw that his summer of running made a huge difference.
Do you want to be a better cross country runner than you were in the past? Focus and follow our training, but also, watch NIKE Pre Classic on Saturday to get inspired!
Other book suggestions include Self Made Olympian by Ron Daws, A Clean Pair of Heels by Murray Halberg, and Pre! by Tom Jordan.

UT-Dallas track & field athletes left scrambling after sport is cut
RICHARDSON, Texas – Several student-athletes are scrambling after learning that the University of Texas at Dallas will eliminate its track and field and cross-country programs.

RICHARDSON, Texas – Several student-athletes are scrambling after learning that the University of Texas at Dallas will eliminate its track and field and cross-country programs.
UTD Track Programs Cut

What we know:
On Monday, UTD announced it was discontinuing its indoor and outdoor track and field programs, along with the cross-country program.
Both sports are being eliminated for the 2025-2026 academic year because of budget issues and the lack of on-campus facilities.
The decision comes just weeks before the fall semester begins, leaving the student-athletes with nowhere to run unless they can transfer to another school.
What they’re saying:
Several of UTD’s athletes said they feel blindsided.
“Track is my life. And it’s been a part of my life. And I wanted that chance to be able to be a part of something bigger,” said Madison Avery, a UTD sophomore. “The academic program is great, especially for what I want to do. But I also chose UTD because they were going to give me a spot on the track team.
“I have already been dealing with some personal family issues. So, when I found out about this, I broke. It broke me,” added Randi Beckham, a team captain and UTD junior.
“I mean, for me, the team getting cut is kind of the end of my track career. So, I probably won’t be pulling out the spikes really anymore to practice. It’s definitely going to be a huge change,” said Emma Foyt-Gade, a UTD junior.

Dig deeper:
UTD said the affected student-athletes will retain their athletic scholarships for the 2025-2026 school year. The school will also support those hoping to transfer.
“We recognize the disappointment this decision brings to our student-athletes and the impact on their experience at UT Dallas,” UTD Director of Athletics Angela Marin said in a statement.
The runners said it’s pretty late to transfer this close to the season.
Their biggest concern is for the coaches and freshmen.
“The new recruits who came here solely for track and field, who are set to move in in a couple of weeks, maybe even days, and we all have nowhere to go. And we’re scrambling to pick up the pieces of our lives,” Foyt-Gade said.

BOISE, Idaho – Boise State women’s basketball head coach Gordy Presnell announced the nonconference slate for the 2025-26 season, Tuesday.
The Broncos will play seven of 11 games at home prior to Mountain West play, including three-straight to start the season.
Boise State opens its campaign, Monday, Nov. 3 against Eastern Oregon. The contest against the Mountaineers will be a kids day game with a noon tipoff.
The Broncos will host San Francisco (Nov. 9) and UC Davis (Nov. 14) before traveling to Colorado for their first road competition.

When national titles are on the line, there’s no greater time to be a track and field fan, and starting Thursday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, the USATF Outdoor Championships will highlight the very best athletes in America.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as the four-day championship will determine the U.S. roster for the World Championships, which will take place from Sept. 13-21 at Japan National Stadium in Tokyo.
Per USATF selection guidelines, the top three athletes across each event will qualify for the World Championships. Reigning world champions from 2023 will receive automatic byes in their events.
Here are the top races and athletes to watch for:
How To Watch The 2025 USATF Outdoor Championships
If you were looking for an easy way to catch USAs, you’re out of luck. NBC and Peacock are only airing the final two days of action from Hayward Field on Aug. 2-3, and they’re doing so over a two-hour television window from 4-6 p.m. For more astute fans of track and field, you can catch all four days of coverage on USATF.TV, though you’ll have to pony up a monthly subscription fee of $12.99 or a yearly cost of $129.99.
Legitimate Intrigue In The Women’s 100 Meters
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – AUGUST 20: Sha’Carri Richardson of Team United States competes in the Women’s … More

While reigning 2023 world champion and 2024 Olympic silver medalist Sha’Carri Richardson is entered and has her spot reserved for Tokyo, her inclusion in the top three of the women’s 100 meters at USAs is hardly guaranteed.
Richardson just hasn’t looked confident this year, and it didn’t help that she finished last in the women’s 100 meters at the Prefontaine Classic in May. In fact, Richardson has not broken 11 seconds in 2025 yet, which is highly concerning.
What compounds those issues is the fact that her Star Athletics teammate, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, is currently on a heater, having won her last four races at the distance. She owns a world No. 1 time of 10.73 seconds.
Elsewhere, Twanisha Terry – Richardon’s and Jefferson-Wooden’s other teammate – arrives with a season-best time of 10.85, while Jacious Sears has run 10.85 and JaMeesia Ford owns a top effort of 10.87.
A total of six women, including Aleia Hobbs, will enter the first round of action with season bests under 10.90. Roughly a year ago at the U.S. Olympic Trials, it was the Star Athletics threesome of Richardson, Jefferson-Wooden and Terry who walked away with the top three placements.
How Will The College Newbies Fare at the USATF Outdoor Championships
A fun exercise will take place in the men’s 1500 meters.
On one hand enters Olympic gold medalist Cole Hocker and bronze medalist Yared Nuguse. Hobbs Kessler, who has the fifth-fastest time on the year for a U.S. athlete, has run under 3:32, while Jonah Koech and Vincent Ciattei are right there in the mix, with times at 3:31.43 and 3:31.69.
On the other hand lies recently-minted professionals like Nathan Green (Washington), Liam Murphy (Villanova) and Ethan Strand (North Carolina).
The 1,500 meters is often prone to jockeying and seesawing tactics, so no qualification is a foregone conclusion. The college guys should test the veterans, and vice versa. Expect some fireworks by the final.
The Men’s 400 Meters Has Potential At The USATF Outdoor Championships
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – APRIL 25: Quincy Wilson of Bullis School (MD) competes in the High … More

The eye-opener in the men’s 400 meters is the fact that Quincy Hall, the reigning 2024 Olympic champion, is not in the field. Neither is Michael Norman, who was second at the U.S. Olympic Trials a year ago.
That leaves the door open for up-and-comers like Khaleb McRae, Jacory Patterson, and 17-year-old Quincy Wilson.
Those three will arrive to the track with the fastest times of the field. However, Wilson’s the only one who made the Olympic team last summer.
Saying that, though, Patterson is currently amid a career year. The 25-year-old won a World indoor bronze in March over 400 meters, along with a gold in the 4×400. There’s also the fact that, before he signed with Nike, Patterson was working the late shift at UPS to support his track habit.
All three still have something to prove.
And those three will still have to outwit the likes of Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon and Chris Bailey, who have proven themselves on the qualifying stage. All three reached the Olympics a year ago, with Bailey and Norwood qualifying individually.
Impressively, Wilson has upped his game in 2025. The rising high school junior ran 44.10 in July at the Ed Murphey Classic, lowering his American under-18 best at the distance. He could chase after the World U20 record of 43.87, which is owned by Steve Lewis.
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – JUNE 1: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone crosses the line during the women’s … More

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Could Have Her Eyes On History
This weekend won’t be the first time McLaughlin-Levrone chases after a national title in the 400 meters. She last won nationals at the distance in 2023, clocking a time of 48.74 – just four-hundredths of a second shy of Sanya Richards-Ross’ American record.
Perhaps that will be motivation enough for the 25-year-old. She’ll face off against Aaliyah Butler (49.09), Isabella Whittaker (49.24) and Alexis Holmes (49.77).
McLaughlin-Levrone is coming off a 400 meter win at the Prefontaine Classic. She ran 49.43 sec.
What Kind Of Form Is Grant Holloway In?
Grant Holloway has been handed a dose of reality in 2025. After dominating the hurdle landscape for such an extended period and scoring the Olympic win in 2024, Holloway has been anything but invincible.
His last win, in fact, was in March in the 60 meter hurdle final at the World Indoor Championships. In his most recent head-to-head on June 24, Holloway lost by a lean to fellow American Dyan Beard in Ostrava.
Maybe it all adds up to a winning formula in Eugene. But for Holloway, few things have been season in 2025 so far.
Roisin Willis’ Opportunity Is Here At The USATF Outdoor Championships
EUGENE, OREGON – JUNE 14: Roisin Willis of the Stanford Cardinal reacts while crossing the finish … More

Few events will offer as much parity as the women’s 800 meters.
With defending U.S. champion Nia Akins struggling and 2022 World Champion Athing Mu-Nikolayev out of the field, it has left a wide net for those wrangling for the top three spots.
Experience could favor the likes of Addison Wiley (1:56.83), who will enter with the top U.S. time of 1:57.43, though college standouts like Michaela Rose (LSU) and Willis (Stanford) could stand to benefit. Juliette Whittaker, who qualified for the Paris Olympics in 2024, is also in major consideration here.
Willis scored an NCAA outdoor title in June in 1:58.13.
