Huge congratulations to Ariel Lee for a breakthrough performance at the Bandit Grand Prix in New York City🔥

Ariel came into the weekend with a 5K PR of 24:15 and left with a new best of 22:51, taking a massive 84 seconds off her previous mark.

That performance earned her a spot in the 3K later that evening, giving her another opportunity to compete against a strong field. Despite already racing earlier in the day, Ariel stepped back on the track and ran 13:50.

In a highly competitive environment, racing aggressively Ariel came away with a result that reflects the fitness she's been building throughout training.

Proof of hard work paying off.💯

One of the coolest things about working with young athletes is seeing what their physiology might tell us about their future potential.

Recently, Dawson completed a blood lactate assessment and VO₂ max test, and the results showed exactly what we'd expect from a talented 8th-grade distance runner.

The first thing that stands out is his aerobic engine. Dawson recorded a VO₂ max of 51.7 ml/kg/min, which is a very strong number for a middle school runner and helps explain why he's already naturally suited for longer events like the 3200m and cross country.

While his abilities at threshold intensities are still developing, that's completely normal at his age and will improve as he matures and gains training experience.

Within 5 minutes of finishing, Dawson had already cleared 38% of his peak lactate. By 20 minutes, he had cleared 56%. Those numbers point to a strong aerobic engine and excellent recovery ability for a young athlete.

Right now, the goal isn't complicated: continue building the foundation. More aerobic development, gradual mileage increases, strides, hill sprints, and short speed work to build power and efficiency. The exciting part is that the ceiling is still a long way off.

Congratulations to Fabrizio Guzman ran 19:51 and finished 4th overall at the San Mateo PAL 5K in San Mateo, CA this past weekend.

Fabrizio, who runs for American Indian Public Charter School, came to us about a month ago after spending time away from running due to PTTD. Rather than chasing a PR, this race was designed as a fitness check and a chance to see where he currently stands heading into summer training.

After battling PTTD and spending time away from running, Fabrizio has been steadily rebuilding over the last month.

He kept the first mile and a half controlled, gradually increased the pace, and closed strong. Now we have a much better understanding of where his fitness sits and can set more accurate training paces as summer training for cross-country season starts to ramp up.

Huge congratulations to Derek Kulach on an outstanding race at the IRONMAN 70.3 Hawaii!

5:25:33
16th in his age group out of 108 athletes

In a deep and competitive field, Derek put together a strong performance and earned a qualifying spot for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nice! 🔥

Qualifying for a World Championship is never easy. It takes consistency, dedication, and the ability to execute when it matters most

Next stop: the French Riviera. 😎🌊

Congratulations, Derek! We're excited to see what you can do on the world stage. 👏

Congratulations to Elvin Aleman on finishing the Fargo Marathon in 4:16:36! 🔥

Some days the marathon becomes more about managing conditions than chasing a time.

The Fargo Marathon is known for its cooler spring weather, but this year runners were met with a rare 82-degree day that added an extra challenge to every mile.

Elvin stayed patient, adapted to the conditions, and kept moving forward when the race got tough. Solving problems, staying mentally strong, and finding a way to the finish line is at the heart of what running a marathon means 💪

Another one in the books and another accomplishment to be proud of. Way to go, Elvin!

🏆June Athlete of the Month: Ean Columbus🏆

Some athletes earn recognition because of a breakthrough performance. Others earn it because of how they handle adversity.This month, we're proud to recognize Ean Columbus as our June Athlete of the Month.

After reaching one of his biggest goals in the fall by breaking 20 minutes in cross country, Ean put together a strong winter of training and was poised for a great track season. Then, unfortunately just before the season began, a knee injury threatened to derail everything.

Just like that, Ean found himself unable to run. For many athletes, that's where frustration takes over. Instead, Ean doubled down on the things he could control.

He cross-trained. He completed his strength work. He stayed engaged with the process. While his competitors were logging miles and racing, Ean was spending time on the bike and in the weight room building fitness.

Ean was patient about adding running back in gradually. He listened to his body and had no qualms about returning to the bike if something didn’t feel right. For many athletes, months away from racing can lead to frustration or trying to rush the process, but not Ean.

The result?
When he was finally healthy enough to return, he hadn't lost the aerobic engine he spent months developing. The consistency he showed while injured allowed him to transition back to running far more smoothly than most athletes could.

By the time TAPPS North Region 1A Championships rolled around, Ean was ready.
He won the regional title and secured a trip to state.

Then, at the TAPPS State Track and Field Championships, he finished 5th overall, running at a level that mirrored where he had ended cross country season despite spending much of the spring unable to run.

Smart training, strength work, and consistency matter. Perhaps, he is just a born racer at heart: he also competes in kart racing, where he is also a force to reckoned with on the track.

Congratulations, Ean on an incredible comeback season and best of luck as you head to Schreiner University this fall to study pre-physical therapy and continue your running career.

A great weekend on the track for the crew at the Lonestar Showcase in Southlake 🔥

Several athletes took advantage of some leftover fitness from track season before shifting gears into summer base-building for cross country.

Cooper McGraner
3200m: 9:28.77 (6th OA, 5-second PR)💥
1600m: 4:27.92 (26th OA)
Cooper raced aggressively to see what he could do and came away with a huge breakthrough in the 3200.

Maverick Murray
800m: 2:06.46 (PR, 6th in heat)💥
Controlled, even splits and a smart race ex*****on.

Marcos Rivera
1 Mile: 4:38 (5-second PR, 6th in heat)💥
Another big PR

Oscar Padilla
1 Mile: 5:20.18 (6th in heat)

Micah Hayman
1 Mile: 5:35.56

Now it’s time to transition into the summer miles, aerobic development, and the work that sets up a strong fall season💪
