Checking in on the four men's indoor NCAA track records set so far this season
The GIST: Just one month into 2025 and a handful of indoor track athletes are already making it their year with broken records aplenty. On your mark, get set, let’s catch up, shall we?
North Carolina’s Ethan Strand sets his second collegiate record of the season: The UNC senior set an NCAA 3,000-meter record to end 2024, racing to a 7:30.15 finish on December 7th.
- Then he added another record to his resume over the weekend, running the indoor mile in a jaw-dropping 3:48.32, the NCAA record and third-fastest time in the indoor mile…ever. No slowing down here.
Tinoda Matsatsa owns 1,000-meter record: Almost exactly one year after setting the previous mark, the Georgetown sophomore broke his own NCAA record last month, running the 1,000-meter race in a time of 2:16.84 on January 18th. The speedy performance earned Matsatsa Big East Men’s Athlete of the Week honors and heaps of praise from his coach.
Jenoah McKiver claims 600-yard record: Florida’s redshirt senior, who was named an All-American in both indoor and outdoor track last season, set the 600-yard record on January 18th, posting a time of 1:05.75.
- McKiver was part of the Gators team that finished second in the 4x400 meter at last year’s national championship. Expect him to be chomping at the bit once again.
