Dylan Jacobs was named the National Men’s Track Athlete of the Year for the 2023 NCAA DI Indoor Track & Field season. Jacobs, who hails from Orland Park, Illinois, topped the NCAA podium and turned in historic marks three times this season. The first all-time effort came at the Boston University John Thomas Terrier Classic when he went 13:11.01 over 5000 meters to become the third-fastest athlete in collegiate history. Two weeks later, he narrowly missed the collegiate record in the 3000 meters by 0.47 seconds when he stopped the clock at 7:36.89. Ultimately, Jacobs won the 5000-meter title at the 2023 NCAA DI Indoor Championships in 13:37.59, which was the fastest time ever recorded by a collegian indoors at altitude. He later finished sixth in the 3000 at NCAAs in 7:52.25.
