Deakin Volz and Lexi Weeks set National High School Records during the indoor season and rank on top in the outdoor season
New athletes top the leaderboard from the track, jumps, throws & relays highlighted by a US #5 all-time mark

This past weekend provided not just some of the fastest 1500m/1600m/Miles of the year, but of all-time
