National Signing Day is officially here for track and field and cross country athletes across the country!
That means all of those commitments over the last few weeks can be finalized on paper and scholarships can be secured. While not every athlete will sign on today, November 14 marks an important period in the recruiting cycle and will signify a turning point for those hoping to arrange their collegiate futures.
We'll do our best at MileSplit to track every single one of your signings and commitments.
In the meantime, if you have a commitment or signing you'd like to share with us, email us at tjones@milesplit.com
