What it actually takes to run at Gonzaga

NCAA Division I · Pac-12 · WA

Gonzaga signed 16 athletes for 2025-26 — including 1 international signee. What follows are their real high-school marks, not a program’s published walk-on line — the honest answer to “would they recruit me?”

Gonzaga is a 5,163-student private campus in Spokane, WA and competes in the Pac-12. Jake Stewart leads a staff of 10 covering 1 event group.

“Median” is the middle signee’s PR; “range” runs from the fastest to the slowest mark in the class. 1500m/Mile and 3000m are converted to 1600m/3200m for comparison. Pulled from verified meet results.
