My story from Eugene on Simeon Birnbaum, who followed in the footsteps of Andrew Wheating, Matthew Centrowitz, and Cole Hocker with an emphatic -- and iconic -- victory in Friday's NCAA 1500 final at Hayward Field.

BYU's 19-yr-old freshman sensation Jane Hedengren was beaten in a big upset last in the NCAA women's 10k. The surprise winner? 26-yr-old freshman Mercyline Kirwa of Iowa State who has a MONSTER kick. letsrun.com/news/2026/06/mer…

Butler's William Zegarski, the top American in NCAA 10k last night (10th), said he was worried promising Americans are getting fewer opportunities at the top of the NCAA: "Is the NCAA supposed to be this audition stage for 30-year-olds? Or 27-year-olds? For four whole years of eligibility? I have to question that....The way the college scene is evolving, not for running, but for all the sports, ethics is getting thrown out the window."

When he crossed the finish line in his 110m hurdles semi at the NCAA championships, Auburn's Ja'Kobe Tharp thought he ran 12.98 and that his last three hurdles were "kind of trash."
His actual time?
12.75 -- breaking a 14-year-old world record.

On Tuesday, Ja'Kobe Tharp watched some of the fastest 110m hurdle races ever to prepare for the NCAA championships.
"All right," he thought. "I can do that."
On Wednesday, he ran a 12.75 world record in the prelims.
On Tharp's stunning WR in Eugene:

For the 1st time in 50 years, a men's WR has fallen at the NCAA track championships. And what did Ja'Kobe Tharp say about his 12.75 110h. "My last three hurdles were kind of trash...I have more in my legs...That was not a picture-perfect race."

After a historic year for American 5,000m runners in 2025, three of the USA's best are heading to Oslo. Can an American win there for the second year in a row?

Can Marco Langon finish his NCAA career as a champion in his last college meet this week in Eugene?
Or will Habtom Samuel, Rocky Hansen, or someone else deny him the title?

Is Simeon Birnbaum the heir apparent to Matthew Centrowitz and Cole Hocker? If he breaks the 1500/mile record-holder "curse", the answer very well may be, 'Yes.'

The Cam Myers hype train is gaining steam ahead of the 19-year-old's Diamond League 1500m opener in Stockholm, with a few people getting VERY excited about his prospects.
Ahead of the race, I tried to put the Aussie's terrific 2026 season in perspective:

Undefeated this year in the 800m, and with a World Indoor gold medal around his neck, 17-year-old American Cooper Lutkenhaus will make his Diamond League debut in Stockholm.
His mentality will be the same as it has been all year: "send it."
