Clarke

What it actually takes to run at Clarke

NAIA · Heart · IA

No published standards, no estimates — this is what Clarke actually signed: 6 athletes in the 2025-26 class — including 1 international signee. What it takes, straight from the results.

Clarke is a 965-student private campus in Dubuque, IA and competes in the Heart. Bradley Johnson leads a staff of 5 covering 2 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.

Where do YOUR marks fit?

BeastMatch runs your marks against the real signing history of 980+ programs, Clarke included — free, no account, results in seconds.

Treat this as a snapshot of one signing class, not a fixed cutoff — it changes every cycle. Coaches also weigh progression, event needs, academics and roster spots, so landing in range opens a conversation rather than settling one.

Iowa permits high school NIL for high school athletes. See the Iowa NIL rules →
