Production via Wyatt Barnsley On this week’s episode of The Stride Report Podcast, Ben and Garrett unpack one of the fastest collegiate weekends we’ve ever seen, headlined by Riley Chamberlain absolutely smashing the NCAA mile record and igniting a stacked slate of elite distance performances at Boston University! The guys dive into blazing mile efforts from Claire Stegall, Billah Jepkirui and Kaiya Robertson, debate Sadie Engelhardt’s All-American upside, and break down Marco Langon holding off a hard-charging Colton Sands in the 3k. They then shift to the 800m fireworks led by Handal Roban and Hayley Kitching, alongside Rosemary Longisa’s historic range and a deep look at emerging national title contenders. Add in major 5k and 3k statement runs, Boston College’s DMR effort, a wave of 3:52 men’s miles, and rapid-fire quick hits and you’ve got a jam-packed recap of a weekend that reshaped the NCAA leaderboard.
