Julia David-Smith is having one heck of a summer.
After making her first NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in June, the Husky senior has been on the European racing circuit this summer. While she’s mostly run the 5,000m for Washington, the event she made NCAAs in, David-Smith started her summer vacation with a 1500m personal best of 4:10.03 in Ireland.
Later that month, David-Smith broke her personal best in the 5,000m with a time of 15:39.97 in France, where the Issaquah native holds dual citizenship. Then, a week ago, the senior took fourth place at the European U23 Championships in Norway while representing France.
That set her up well for the FISU World University Games in Bochum, Germany, which wrapped up over the weekend. David-Smith set another personal best in the 5,000m, setting the No. 6 time in school history with a 15:34.57 that was good for gold.
In other action at the Games, Chloe Foerster was seventh in the 800m in 2:01.58 while representing the USA. Amina Maatoug, representing the Netherlands, and Maggie Liebich, representing the USA, were sixth and ninth in the 1500m final. Maatoug ran 4:21.78, while Liebich came across in 4:22.89.

River Radamus has unfinished business at the Winter Olympics

Part of leading by example, Radamus’s elevated strength training comes with a purpose.
Recently, Radamus’s status on the world stage has improved, the biggest moment coming in February 2024 on the FIS World Cup circuit. On home soil at Palisades Tahoe in California, Radamus had the best giant slalom run of his international career, clinching a podium spot in the giant slalom and finishing the race to the roar of cheering Americans. At the bottom of the slope, Radamus had a major reaction, letting out a few yells, a couple of fist pumps and spiking his ski pole like a touchdown celebration.
In the following 2024-25 World Cup campaign, Radamus characterized his season as full of change, including physical alterations, new coaches and skiing philosophies. Though Radamus did not land on the podium, he earned similar World Cup points from season to season, with the most coming from giant slalom events, followed by the super-G.
During the 2025 World Championships in Saalbach, Radamus became ill and lost around 10 pounds before the events. Still managing to ski through the physical and mental toll of the illness, he got sick again after worlds, losing a total of 30 pounds toward the end of the season.
“If you judge performance on that and judge yourself as falling short because of something that’s outside of your control, that takes a toll monumentally and keeps you from reaching high athletic performance,” Radamus said. “I think I take pride in the effort I gave.”
Between skiing in all the events from downhill to slalom and the two illnesses, Radamus’s body suffered a physical toll. Now, he has time to regain the weight; his current goal is to gain 20 pounds of muscle mass, which will help increase his base strength, a key factor in the change Radamus aims to make in his skiing philosophy.
During the two spring camps the U.S. team had at Mammoth and Copper, Radamus emphasized a new method of approaching turns with a stronger base, letting his natural finesse do the rest of the work through the turns. He has been known as a skier with natural flow, usually letting the skis do the work by throwing them toward the fall line. Now, slowly is introducing this method to be stronger and more commanding during turns to increase speed and control from the start.
With this new methodology to his skiing applied, along with his rigorous physical transformation, Radamus is doing everything he can to be in a position to reach the Olympic podium in 2026. He hopes that the process of achieving personal and team goals will make the results fall into place. Like many U.S. skiers before him, Radamus believes in his abilities as a big-event skier to win, which he’s proven in his youth, the 2022 Winter Games and on the World Cup stage.
So while Radamus may not have a life at the moment, he uses his intense fear of failure as a motivator to keep him focused every day. Before training, Radamus had some time after the season to run youth ski camps organized by his ARCO foundation, which works to make the competitive sport more accessible to youth. Now, he’s back to the lab to accomplish his goals, and he is enjoying the process.
“I’ve really come into this summer thinking I cannot forgive myself if I don’t do everything I possibly can to put myself in the best position,” Radamus said. “It’s my absolute responsibility to myself to seek that out and see if I can accomplish it. I feel great about where I am.”

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard track & field will once again feature heavily in a high profile competition, as four former and current Crimson will travel to Eugene, Oregon for the 2025 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships. Action begins on Thursday, July 31st and concludes on Sunday, Aug. 3. Hayward Field will host all the action as Harvard fans can watch live on NBC and Peacock.
One of the most decorated female athletes in United States track & field history, Gabby Thomas ’19 will compete in a pair of events at the USATF Outdoor Championships. Thomas begins her weekend with the first round of the 100m on Thursday, July 31 at 7:07 p.m. eastern standard time. The women’s 100m semifinal begins at 7:20 p.m. EST on Friday, Aug. 1 while the final starts at 10:27 p.m. EST later that evening. The 2024 Paris Olympics gold medalist in the women’s 200m, Thomas will also run the 200m at the USATF Outdoor Championships. The women’s 200m semifinal will run on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 3:32 p.m. EST as the final starts later that day at 5:13 p.m. EST.
Thomas cemented her legacy last summer, winning three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics. A native of Northampton, Massachusetts, Thomas took home gold in the women’s 200m at the Stade de France with France, following it up with golds in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. Thomas is only the second American in Olympic to win gold in the 200m, 4x100m relay and the 4x400m relay at the same Olympic Games.
Two Crimson All-Americans will run the women’s 800m at the USATF Outdoor Championships, as junior Sophia Gorriaran and Victoria Bossong ’25 will represent Harvard in the event. The women’s 800m first round starts at 6:37 p.m. EST on Thursday, July 31, with the semifinal starting at 7:01 p.m. EST on Friday, Aug. 1. The women’s 800m final is scheduled for 4:18 p.m. EST on Sunday, Aug. 3.
Both Bossong and Gorriaran shined in the 800m at the collegiate level last season. The Ivy League record holder in the women’s 800m with a time of 1:59.48, Bossong finished in second in the 800m at the NCAA Indoor Championships, earning All-America First Team honors in the process. A native of Cumberland Foreside, Maine, Bossong finished in ninth in the women’s 800m to take All-America Second Team honors to conclude her collegiate career.
A four-time All-American in the 800m across both indoor and outdoor competition, Gorriaran made strides in her second campaign with the Crimson. Gorriaran ran a personal-best 2:00.46 in the 800m at the NCAA East First Round and took home an Ivy League title in the 800m at the Ivy League Heptagonal Outdoor Championships.
Two-time NCAA men’s cross country champion Graham Blanks ’25 is poised to run in a pair of distance events. Blanks starts his time at Hayward Field with the men’s 10,000m at 11:08 p.m. EST on Thursday, July 31st, followed by the men’s 5000m on Sunday, Aug. 3 at 4:52 p.m. EST.
A household name in American distance running, Blanks orchestrated a one-of-a-kind collegiate career, becoming the first student-athlete in Ivy League history to win a NCAA national title in men’s cross country and the 13th student-athlete in NCAA history to win consecutive NCAA men’s cross country national titles. Before he turned pro with New Balance, Blanks become the second student-athlete in NCAA history to run sub-13 minutes in the men’s 5000m, meeting the World Championships standard with a time of 12:59.89.

A former volleyball coach at St. Paul Como Park Senior High School has received a seven-year prison sentence for sexually assaulting one of his players.
Keng Cha, 31, of St. Paul was sentenced Tuesday in Ramsey County District Court after pleading guilty to two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the encounters while he coached at Como Park.
With credit for time in jail after his arrest, Cha, is expected to serve about 4¾ years in prison and the balance of his term on supervised release.
Police went to the high school and met with a 15-year-old girl who said she and Cha, her B-squad volleyball coach, had sex four times from October 2022 to September 2023 at various locations including in the school’s back parking lot.
She said the intercourse occurred in his vehicle either behind the school or one time in October 2022 when he picked her up at her house and drove to a spot near a lake.
As officers were speaking to the girl in the school office area, Cha was with the athletic director in the school being fired and at the same time texting her, “Why haven’t you been coming to games?” and “Did you say anything to anyone about us?” Officers found Cha and arrested him.
Cha told police his relationship with the girl progressed to him sexually assaulting her anywhere from two to four times including in December 2022 in Battle Creek Park in St. Paul and the last time in his car near her house.
