The Northwest Texan Invitational 1k US High School Record attempt didn’t go as planned, however that does not mean it was a failure.

Sure, nobody broke the record and the entire field looked bummed after the race, but as someone who was there, it was definitely a success. This race gave all of those kids a taste of big time racing very early in the outdoor season. Some would probably say too early in the outdoor season, but with the way the UIL schedule is so compressed (that’s a topic for another day), there’s really not a good place to put it, unless you add it to TDF or an event like that.

1k High School Record Breaking Attempt
Friday, around 8 PM at Justin Northwest Texan Stadium

I think one thing we can all agree on is that the 1k US High School record attempt at the Justin Northwest Texan Invitational this coming Friday should be exciting. There should definitely be more odd distance events like this.

The current US High School Outdoor record is held by Marcus Reilly of Massachusetts, who broke the record last June in Montreal, Canada in a time of 1:21.81. Reilly is currently a freshman at Michigan.

We are happy to be a part of Texas MileSplit as a part-time contributor. I want one thing to be clear, I am not paid by MS, nor am I a coach. I am a parent with kids who run and enjoy publicizing kids who run fast. I started this because I felt that much of the coverage gets splintered throughout the year. What I mean by that is, there seem to be a lot of freelancers who cover areas of the state or specific events. Sprints tend to get a lot of coverage. This is all great, but I like to get a little more in depth on what is happening in events like the 800, 1600 and 3200 (as well as Cross Country).
