Michigan's indoor track & field season took shape early, with several top marks set in December that held strong through March. In more than a few events, the No. 1 performance was never seriously challenged. Here's where the state stands as the indoor season wraps up.

Notable Boys Events

The 60m belonged to Peyton Trammer. His 6.68 from late December sat at the top of the leaderboard all season. He ran the 60m more than 10 times indoors and won every race but one, placing fourth at the 118th Millrose Games against national competition. A few other Michigan athletes broke 6.90:

Trammer also led the 200m at 21.51. No one matched him across both short sprint events indoors. The 400m was controlled by Rondre Austion. His 47.31 stood as the top mark all season. In the 800m, Wendell Childs Jr. separated from the field with a 1:50.87. He finished nearly two seconds ahead of Greg Myers in the rankings.

Kamari Ronfeldt led the 1600m at 4:14.08. Kyle O'Rourke was the only sub-9 athlete in the 3200m at 8:59.22. Over the 60m hurdles, Zacchaeus Brocks set the bar at 7.57.

Kamryn Tatum led the short sprints, running a 7.46 in the 60m and 24.03 in the 200m to claim state leader status in both events. Her indoor PR of 7.40 came in 2025, and her outdoor range includes 11.66 in the 100m and 23.55w over 200m. She will be one to watch come outdoors.

Cayla Hawkins ran a 53.34 400m at the Spire Scholastic Showcase in early Feb. and is the only Michigan athlete under 55 seconds this season.
