MileSplit.us is the nation's premier online network dedicated solely to providing in depth in-state, state-by-state coverage of high school track & field and cross country.
Designed around powerful proprietary database software that unites all the information used to cover the sport – including results, rankings, stories, videos, photos, podcasts, team and athlete pages – MileSplit.us is the only online publisher in the sport with the tools to provide a high level of timely, comprehensive, nationwide coverage.
Leading the MileSplit.us nationwide coverage will be journalist, webmaster, meet director, coach and fan Scott Bush.

The passion behind the network.
The engine that drives MileSplit.us is, of course, our webmasters. Their passion and love for the sport is what keeps them going season upon season, weekend after weekend. Whether standing on a rain-soaked hill to catch the mud-splattered action of a cross country race; driving hundreds of miles to cover an indoor meet in the middle of winter; or getting by on just a few hours sleep in order to post all the video and photo action from an important outdoor meet... this is the sport that gives them joy. It's the sport that helps them share the remarkable stories of the greatest kids in the world - high school runners, jumpers and throwers... along with the greatest coaches in the world. Our webmasters don't do this to become independently wealthy. They do this to become independently happy.
The power behind the network.
The idea of the database must have been invented by a track nut. We’re crazy about our stats. Whether it was yesterday’s performance, or 50 years ago, we want to know: Who was faster. Who jumped higher. Who beat whom. Was it all-weather or all gravel. So our entire network is designed around the powerful, proprietary, ever-enhanced database management system than empowers our publishers to write, rank, compare, relate, and report as much as they can about these great athletes and coaches. Simply, publish one place and it is instantly shared network-wide. Relate one place, and it’s related network-wide. Compare athletes side-by-side. Athletes can manage their own individual page. Coaches can manage their team page. Athletes, coaches, parents and fans can see how athletes stack up in their state... or even across states, in their event. It's all very cool stuff. And it's only available from MileSplit.us.
We're looking for a few good state webmasters
who believe in the future and the power of teamwork.
This summer, we started our search for in-state, on-the-ground, crazy-about-the-sport webmasters in states where we are expanding. We'll introduce our newest states over the coming weeks as we get them up and running on the network. We're excited to add their passionate coverage of the sport to our growing family of sites. Because we believe that creating a sustainable presence in each state is so important to the future of our network, we welcome and will give priority to existing state sites. If you are interested in learning about ways you can share in the future of our sport, please email Don Rich at don@milesplit.com. We welcome your interest and your questions. Together, we know we can build something to build the sport for now, and for future generations.
