Miles Brown is official. Here are some more stats that make him a great recruit. He ran 1:51 in the 800m as a sophomore and he was Michigan state champ and 4th at New Balance nationals that same year.

We have a recruit on the women's side, which the track team will share with the soccer team: Melissa Riggins. Sounds like another Emily Menges.
800m: 2:08.86 1600m: 4:48.79

Lucas Guerra seems like a true distance guy with a PR of 15:31.8 in the 5000m.

Additional PBs for Lucas: Guerra owns PB's of 2:00 (800), 4:17 (1600), 9:06 (3200).
Last year, he finished second at the IHSAA Cross Country State Championships and is a favorite to win the title this year. He has won all but one race year this year, that being at the New Prairie Invite where he finished second to Angola's Izaiah Steury.

It seems as if we are searching the whole nation for recruits. The last five on the men's side have come from RI, NJ, IN, OR, and SC.

Update on Josh Peron (from Coach Bonsey)
47 and 1:51 splits in 400 and 800 respectively. 34.83 in the 300m on a flat track indoors and 1:19 600m. So he is a real gem. Range and speed.

Jack McLoughlin take the individual title in 15:25 followed by Evan Reynolds and Chase Leach. La Salle boys take the team title at the RIIL State Championships.

From The Stride Report: On the men's side, schools like Indiana University and Purdue University both have strong distance teams, but seeing Indiana native Lucas Guerra choose Georgetown was surprising. The 9:06 (3200) runner would’ve added some much needed depth to either Indiana or Purdue after the graduation of key veterans, but he decided to travel further east for college and has opted to train with the Hoyas.
Eric: I'll go with another Georgetown commit. I was surprised that Mateo Althouse (Portland, Oregon) chose the Hoyas. I always thought of Georgetown as a middle distance school as evidenced by their strong history of 800 meter runners (i.e. Joe White) as well as their always impressive DMR teams during the indoor track season.
Althouse seems like he is more of a longer distance runner given that he qualified for Foot Locker last year and owns a 5k PR of 14:53. It's not that Georgetown hasn't had success in cross country or the longer distances (because they certainly have), but I thought it was surprising to see the Portland, Oregon native venture to the other side of the country.
Also: Eric: Coming out of the DMV area is St. Albans senior Damian Hackett. With a strong middle distance background and an improved presence on grass (as evidenced by his sub-15:30 5k from this fall), I predict that he commits to Georgetown.
In addition The Stride Report spends much time talking about UNC and the recruits, both men and women, that Chris Miltenberg has brought in.

Would be great if our long slumbering men's XC team were to show some signs of returning to their glory days.

Well, they were ranked 25th in early polls. Of course, this year is, I hope, a one off, and the Big East at least is not running XC. The finals, for those who can run, are in March. If this were a normal year AND Robert Brandt had more XC eligibility, the Hoyas would probably be a top 10 or 15 team. Maybe next year we can prove our worth.

Very unfortunate. Good news. We may have another 800m runner from LAS VEGAS!

For those who haven't see it, Michigan's indoor facility is below. Georgetown's indoor facility is...well, nothing.
