What it actually takes to run at Aquinas
NAIA · WHAC · MI
Every mark below belongs to someone Aquinas actually signed for 2025-26 — 11 athletes in the class. Not an estimate. The real bar.
Aquinas is a 1,265-student private campus in Grand Rapids, MI and competes in the WHAC. Winne, Kevin leads a staff of 6 covering 3 event groups.
Median: the middle signee’s personal best. Range: the full spread of the class, fastest to slowest. 1500m/Mile and 3000m marks read as their 1600m/3200m equivalents. Sourced from verified meets, not self-reported times.

Every verified mark in Aquinas's 2025-26 class
7 of the 11 athletes signed have a verified high-school mark, shown here with the mark each was signed on. The other 4 have no verified mark on record, so they are left out rather than guessed. Not a published standard, not an estimate. Names, hometowns and the coach who recruited each athlete are the member view.
Signed out of: Mich.
Members see who each of these 7 athletes is, where they came from, and the coach who recruited their event — see the named class
