Nico Young was named the 2024 NCAA Division I Men’s Indoor Track & Field National Track Athlete of the Year. Young, who hails from Camarillo, California, wrapped up a dream season with a sweep of the 3000- and 5000-meter titles at the 2024 NCAA DI Indoor Track & Field Championships, which included a meet record of 7:41.01 in the former. Earlier in the season, Young became the first collegian to run sub-13 minutes in the 5000 meters – regardless of venue – when he stopped the clock at the John Thomas Terrier Classic in 12:57.14. He also became the first person in history to register a sub-4 mile at 7,000 feet.
