Lost her shoe with 500m to go but still gave her all! So proud of Maddie for having such a wonderful Junior year 👏🏻 #goags

Came into the weekend hoping for Dani to get a great experience for the future but the future is NOW for Dani! By far, she’s the toughest athlete you’ll ever meet, and I’m so very happy for her! #UCDistance #goags

Coach Braman gave me my first opportunity in NCAA coaching, I will always be so grateful to this wonderful man!

Remembering this 𝙎𝙋𝙀𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇 performance from Dani‼️ Less than a week away from nationals! #GoAgs

So proud of Dani for her All American 11th place finish in the 10,000m! There is nothing better than seeing your athlete achieve their dreams! #goags #UCDistance

I think this is such an important component of a coaching career. Emphasis in collegiate coaching often circles around the student athlete sense of belonging, but long term success for a program needs to also include the coach’s sense of belonging.

One of the best coaches out there! Erin was my assistant coach at New Mexico XC/T&F, her leadership and wisdom had such a meaningful impact & I often think ‘what would Erin do’ in my own coaching career. A wonderful leader for EIU Cross Country & an incredible Mom to Ryan & Clare too!

Team culture doesn't form during meetings or scheduled activity. It forms during the in between moments. The cool down conversations, the shared anxiety while awaiting a race, the adventures once the performance is complete and you've got hours to kill in a different city.

P5 track & field coaches are mobilizing to protect the future of their sport against House settlement, citing roster limits, budget cuts, program eliminations, etc. This open letter to the track & field community is being circulated calling for immediate action.

Confidence isn’t about being fearless. It’s about knowing you’ll show up—even when you’re full of doubt. We get confidence is wrong. It’s not about hype, bravado, or pretending. It’s about evidence, action, and alignment. Here’s how to build the real thing:

Fragility versus confidence:
