With spring marathon season, the World Relays, big domestic track meets such as the Penn/Drake Relays, the Payton Jordan Invitational, and the start of the Diamond League season, we haven’t had time to focus on anything outside of races recently. With some downtime this week before the schedule ramps up again, we thought we’d share this neat document with you and some inside details about O’Sullivan’s wins.

Colorado teenager Parker Wolfe was the most dominant high school runner in the United States over the cross country season. Alabama prep Ethan Strand was arguably the most impressive indoor runner of 2021.

Ed Brennen The night before the biggest race of her life â the final of the womenâs mile at the 2021 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas â UMass Lowellâs Kaley Richards spelled out her goal in her journal.
âI wrote that I wanted to finish in the top eight and be an All-American,â says Richards, a Lowell native and Manning School of Business graduate student who had already become the first River Hawk to ever qualify for the Division I indoor championships.Â
Competing against runners from big-time programs such as Arkansas, Ohio State and Colorado, Richards achieved her goal by finishing fourth with a personal best time and new school record of 4 minutes, 36.26 seconds â becoming UMLâs first-ever indoor Division I All-American.
