It's officially National Signing Day.
Today marks the first day athletes can sign on the dotted line during the NLI period, which runs through August 1, 2023.
Of course, that doesn't mean every athlete who's on the cusp of signing a scholarship will finalize on this day. But it does mean that signing season is officially underway.
Over the last few weeks, talented cross country and track and field athletes have been announcing their long-term plans.
Over that time, MileSplit has ramped up its recruiting coverage, with more stories, features, podcasts and insight into the best and brightest athletes of the Class of 2023, along with conversations with NCAA coaches and updates on our latest Top 50 recruiting lists.
