400 ace Justin Robinson is half of Arizona State’s great superstar grab. (KIRBY LEE/IMAGE OF SPORT)
ON NOVEMBER 13 the NCAA’s window for signing national letters of intent in track opened, and we already know the destinations of the majority of this year’s top-rated high school seniors. What we have listed here are those who were good enough to make the ’19 yearly list’s top 10 in each event. ¶ indicates that the athlete was also good enough to make the T&FN All-America team. We will continue to fill in this chart as new signings eventuate.
’20 MEN’S SIGNINGS
What a coup for Arizona State, where new coach Dion Miller has nabbed both the Nos. 2 (long sprinter Justin Robinson) and 3 (hurdler Jamar Marshall) vote-getters from our ’19 HS Athlete Of The Year selection process.

There’s still plenty of significant action to come here, as the whereabouts of our ’19 HS Athlete Of The Year, Briana Williams, remains undetermined. Also still in the wind is the destination of choice last year’s vote-getter No. 4, Athing Mu.
