MileSplit Shorts: Happy May Day


The wording etched across Ella Johns' left arm has all sorts of Colorado track & field vibes. 

Be Kind.

Good point. 

What I've always enjoyed about the Colorado track and field community is how it roots for itself - it's not about one individual performance, it's about the collective. 

As evident in Tim McDonald's photo of Johns and Olivia Alessandrini, taken moments after Alessandrini kicked by Johns in the final 100 meters to win the 1,600 at the Stutler Twilight. The two embraced, celebrating their 1-2 finish with smiles and hugs, and Colorado personal bests. 

And they weren't the only ones. 

But the moment captured something that's rooted deep within the community - one win can equal a collective win. And it's likely why Colorado is just so competitive on the national scene - the bar is constantly being raised.

There's a deep understanding that the success of a fellow competitor can be your success as well - as they're pushing or pulling you to your best.

On the topic of the girl's 1,600 - a staggering eight have broken 5-minutes in Colorado this season...

We've got three exciting weeks in front of us!
