We're over halfway through the month - and nearing the halfway point of the indoor season - and clearly everyone is finding their rhythm.
There were a ton of top-tier performances from Colorado athletes scattered across the country.
Editor's Note: You might need more than one cup of coffee for this rundown...
So, let's go around the nation...
In Arkansas Valor Christian (AKA Valor Track Academy) hit the track (and the field).
Camille Peisner dropped a 24.73 indoor 200 PR in the prelims before going on to finish fourth in the finals. Reese Dragovich (AKA "Drago!") doubled in the 400 and 800, running 58.48, and 2:20, while long jumpers Sadie McMullen and Megan Lonneman represented Colorado with a victory for McMullen, and a ninth place finish for Lonneman. McMullen went 18-10, and Lonneman went 17-1.5.
For the boys Langston Williams ran his first 400 of 2020. The Eaglecrest senior ran 50.25, which was just ahead of fellow Coloradan James McHenry, who ran 50.83.
Take a sip of that coffee.
Onwards to Houston, Texas for the Carl Lewis Invite...
A big highlight for Colorado was Rock Canyon's Riley Masten, who not only claimed the high jump title, but she did with an indoor PR of 5-8 - which is a US No. 3.
On the track Sydney Holiday ran 7.66 in the 60, while Korey Hairston led the boys with a 7.04 performance.
Take a sip of that coffee.
In Nevada Mia Manson led Coloradans at the National Pole Vault Summit with a 12-4 performance, which was four inches over eighth-grader Megan Kelleghan, who went 12-0. Meanwhile, Hunter Potrykus led the boys with a 15-2 mark.
Back in Colorado things got real in Colorado Springs at the Let's Get REAL Classic.
Take a (bigger) sip of that coffee.
READ: Epic Battles At The Let's Get REAL Classic
There were 14 state-leading marks that came out of the meet, along with two stellar mid-distance battles between Taylor James and Riley Colby, and a massive performance in the 1,000 from Yasin Sado.
It was definitely a "Taylor James Kind Of Day Part II," as the Niwot junior won the 400, 600, and mile, and took third in the 200. Her wins in the 400, 600, and mile were state-leading times.
Additionally, Casia Provencal had a big day of her own, winning the 60 and 60 Hurdles.
Sado didn't need any competition to get him going - he literally soloed a nation-leading 2:28.10 1,000 - the time was 20 seconds - and just over half a lap - ahead of the entire field.
Take a sip of that coffee.
A few days earlier at Mines HS Indoor Series #3 Teagan Zwaanstra dropped the second fastest 60 of any Colorado girl, running 7.64. Off the track she added a 18-1.5 long jump performance to cap her night.
Likewise, Daryon Wilson leapt to a CO No. 2 spot in the long jump, going 22-4.5.
And keep an eye on middle-schoolers Aspen Webb and Reese Tucker - the two Peak Performance runners ran 5:29 Thursday night.
On Sunday in Colorado Springs at the Martin Luther King Classic Kyairra Reigh returned to the track and dropped a CO No. 5 in the 60, running 7.72.
Meanwhile, for the boys Keirryse Simpson topped them all in the 200 with a CO No. 2, running 22.40.
Refill that cup of coffee...
