Great news for the Men's Track & Field team for 2024...

You don't get many sub-4:00 milers in High School - Duke has had only 3 sub-4:00 milers - the school record is 3:55.89 by Nick Dahl in 2022

Tonight in St. Louis, @jacksonheidesch became the 20th U.S. high school boy to break four minutes for the mile with a 3:59.08.
The Dowling Catholic (IA) senior is headed to @DukeTFXC next year.

I should have titled this "Duke Track & Field and XC 2023-2024" since the season starts this fall with XC and the winter track season starts in November. I intend this to cover both the Men's and Women's teams. Mods can you please update the title? Thank you.

Stay tuned. Duke may be getting a grad student who is very, very fast. 3:40 in 1500. 3:55 in mile and 1:46 in 800.

I guess that would be Ryan Wlison, graduate of MIT...

Ryan is getting his MBA at Duke . I expect him to set a few records while he is there. Met him this spring in Cambridge when I visited my son. They were teammates and roommates on the D3 National Championship Cross Country and outdoor track teams. Lost indoor track by .5 point. My kid always got a good view of Ryan’s back when they raced.
