University of Northern Colorado Head Cross Country & Track and Field Coach Nick Maas joins Airey Bros Radio to talk about taking over the Bears, building a NCAA Division I program in Colorado, recruiting the Mountain West, developing athletes and establishing a culture that can compete in the Big Sky Conference.Coach Maas takes us back to where it all started — growing up in Iowa, finding running as a young athlete, competing at Buena Vista University and beginning his coaching career at Northern Iowa. From there, we trace his journey through Western Illinois, MSU Denver and Wisconsin-Parkside, where he helped build the Rangers into a much larger and more competitive program before returning to Colorado.We get into what building at UNC looks like from the ground up: reconnecting with alumni, recruiting Colorado and the surrounding Mountain States, navigating the transfer portal, developing versatile track & field athletes and creating a culture athletes want to be part of.Coach Maas also breaks down his training philosophy and why he doesn't chase every new training trend. Instead, he focuses on developing complete athletes — mileage, strength, mobility, mechanics, speed and staying healthy over four or five years.We also talk Big Sky Cross Country, preparing for altitude in Flagstaff, Greeley as a college town, Colorado running culture, 14ers, ultramarathons, coffee, craft beer and the Airey Bros Radio Final Four.Whether you're a high school runner looking at NCAA Division I programs, a parent navigating recruiting, or a coach interested in building culture and developing athletes for the long haul, this conversation has plenty to take away.SHOW NOTES / TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Airey Bros Radio origin story02:24 — HOWDY & ALOHA! / Episode 477 begins03:20 — Introducing UNC Head Coach Nick Maas04:15 — Where recruits can connect with UNC XC/Track04:49 — ABR through lines: UNC, Parkside & Nick Becker08:05 — Nick Maas' running origin story09:35 — Buena Vista University & becoming a college athlete10:09 — Why Maas decided to become a coach10:26 — Learning the profession at Northern Iowa12:24 — The road from MSU Denver and Parkside back to Colorado13:31 — Beginning the rebuild at Northern Colorado14:56 — Coaching changes & navigating the transfer portal16:02 — Goals for Year 1 with the Bears18:05 — Starting over after building Wisconsin-Parkside19:53 — Recruiting Colorado & the Mountain States20:48 — Competing against NAU, Montana State & the Big Sky22:02 — Academics, Greeley & who fits at UNC23:12 — Where the Bears train around Northern Colorado25:00 — Training in Colorado without an indoor track25:58 — Hosting the NCAA Division II XC Championships at Parkside28:23 — Bringing cross country meets back to UNC29:04 — Building trust with athletes30:38 — Team camp in Estes Park & the UNC team covenant31:44 — Learning under Chris Bucknam at Northern Iowa34:39 — Coaching hurdles, jumps & events beyond distance35:23 — Building a complete UNC Track & Field program38:23 — Coach Maas' message to recruits: Come see Greeley41:20 — Breaking down the Bears' cross country schedule43:13 — Training for altitude & the Big Sky Championships44:31 — Norwegian Method, double threshold & training trends45:45 — Maas' "bucket filler" training philosophy47:17 — Developing runners gradually & staying healthy48:40 — Coach Maas' own 100-mile ultramarathon49:39 — Colorado 14ers & the Collegiate Peaks51:06 — Advice to his daughter: Run hard and smile52:05 — Colorado rapid fire & craft beer53:05 — "Control your controllables"53:47 — What success looks like in Year 1 at UNC56:20 — THE FINAL FOUR56:24 — Coffee58:02 — Daily practices & rituals59:11 — Music, podcasts & books1:00:23 — Guilty pleasures1:03:40 — Closing thoughtsFOLLOW & SUPPORT AIREY BROS RADIO

Christian Brothers Academy Head Cross Country Coach Sean McCafferty joins Airey Bros Radio for a deep dive into one of the most storied high school cross country programs in America.Coming off a historic 2025 season, McCafferty was named the Joe Newton Coach of the Year after leading CBA to 3rd place at Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) with a New Jersey-record 15:54 team average. Under his leadership, the Colts have won seven Meet of Champions titles, six Nike Northeast Regional titles and qualified for NXN eight consecutive times.Sean takes us back to his roots in New Jersey distance running, growing up in a running family, his own career at Princeton, becoming a teacher and coach, and eventually taking over the legendary CBA Cross Country program from Tom Heath.We get deep into what has allowed CBA to remain one of the premier high school distance programs in the country: evolving training philosophies, slowing down easy days, threshold training, heart-rate data, lactate testing, building athlete confidence, developing team culture and teaching runners to care about one another.Coach McCafferty also breaks down the modern college recruiting landscape and why the best opportunity for a high school runner isn't always NCAA Division I. We discuss D1, D2 and D3 recruiting, Ivy League academics, social media and Strava, the pressure of coaching a national powerhouse, CBA alumni culture, Nike Cross Nationals and what the next generation of Colts looks like heading into the 2026 cross country season.If you're a high school cross country runner, distance coach, parent, college recruit or fan of New Jersey running, this one is loaded.

With the exception of two 1500 m races contested in 1984 and 1985, the mile is the only event on the NCAA schedule that has not transitioned from imperial measurements to metric. Hand timing was used until 1975, while starting in 1976 fully automatic timing was used. In 1986 and 1987, the 1⁄10-mile track that the races were run on was 25 inches (640 mm) per lap short, making the actual race distance less than one mile those years.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Monday, 24 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Mile run at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Matthew.

Dwight Stones is on the cover of the June 14, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated, and he joins Past Our Prime to take us back to one of the most electric moments of his remarkable career. That cover came on the heels of a world record in the high jump — a performance that announced to the world that Stones wasn't just a great athlete, he was an event. Being on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1976 wasn't just an honor, it was a cultural moment. In an era before social media, before highlight reels and YouTube, that cover was how America met its sports heroes, and Stones understood exactly what it meant. He had arrived — not just as a world-class jumper, but as a personality, a presence, and a star. What made Stones different from every other high jumper of his era was that he understood something most track and field athletes never figured out — the competition didn't start when the bar went up, it started the moment he walked into the stadium. He studied Muhammad Ali the way a film student studies Scorsese, borrowing Ali's gift for psychological warfare and applying it to the high jump pit. He talked, he taunted, he performed, and he made sure that every opponent in the building knew he was there and that beating him was going to cost them something mentally before it cost them anything physically. He even pioneered a new kind of dual role in the sport, competing in a meet and simultaneously serving as an analyst — giving new meaning to the idea of a dual meet and blurring the line between athlete and broadcaster in a way nobody had ever done before. Stones first discovered the Fosbury Flop as a young athlete and never looked back, and the man who invented it — Dick Fosbury — became not just a technical influence but a mentor and a genuine friend. Fosbury changed the sport forever when he went over the bar backwards at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, and Stones was among the first generation to fully embrace and master the technique. He'll tell us what it meant to have Fosbury in his corner and how a revolutionary way of clearing a bar became the foundation of everything Stones built his career on. It was more than a technique — it was a philosophy about seeing the world differently than everyone else, which suited Dwight Stones just fine. Then there are the two bronze medals — separated by four years and a lifetime of emotion. The first, at the 1972 Munich Olympics, was a stunning achievement for the youngest member of the American team, a teenager who had no business being on that podium and got there anyway through sheer talent and nerve. The second, at the 1976 Montreal Games, is a different story entirely — one that still irks him to this day. Stones joins Scott, Marc, and Bill on Past Our Prime to talk about both medals, the world record, the showmanship, the mind games, and what it felt like to be young, fearless, and on top of the world in the summer of 1976 — with his face on the cover of the greatest sports magazine that ever existed to prove it.
