He’s the first Black high school athlete to run a sub-four-minute mile Tinoda Matsatsa has always loved soccer — most nights, he’s dribbling the ball around the house. A senior at St. Andrew’s Episcopal in Potomac, Md., he was a striker on the varsity team. But though he initially didn’t want to run — he hid from the track coach in middle school to avoid signing up, only to be informed that Taderera had registered him anyway — Matsatsa has become one of the top middle-distance runners in the country. At the HOKA Festival of Miles in St. Louis in early June, the 18-year-old became the first Black high school athlete to run a sub-four-minute mile. His time of 3 minutes 58.70 seconds put him in elite company as one of only 20 American high-schoolers to beat four minutes. Matsatsa, a Georgetown commit, holds 12 school records (the 400, 500, 800, 1,000, 1,500, 1,600 and the mile indoor, and the 800, 1,500, 1,600, mile and 3,200 outdoor) and four state records (800 indoor, 1,500, 1,600 and mile outdoor), and he has the third-fastest result all-time nationally in the 800 indoor. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/06/12/tinoda-matsatsa-mile/

Beating fellow sub-4:00 HSer Simeon Birnbaum,too! Earlier in the week, Birnbaum was competitive running against the pros in his 1500m heat. Tinoda getting the win here leading the whole way is huge!
I've said it before, but I am so excited for Tinoda to be a Hoya!

Tinoda's mile time would be the 5th fastest mile had he been at Georgetown this year. His 800m times would be the 13th fastest.

The announcement also noted that Kyle Levermore, the team's assistant distance coach who was hired back in June, "will assume additional responsibilities." According to a source, the understanding is that Levermore will ultimately take over the head distance coaching role at Missouri.
With Coach Kyle Levermore now at the helm (or shared helm) of Missouri's distance program, the highly-effective recruiter from Georgetown may have a chance to significantly bolster the Tigers' roster in the coming years.

Current freshman, Tinoda Matsatsa, is probably the first track undergrad at GU who has signed with New Balance under NIL rules.
