As the state championships keep rolling in, this hasn't stopped athletes from putting out historical marks.
Runners from Utah and Iowa stood out this week.
Check out the top athletes below who solidified themselves as the COROS Distance Athletes Of The Week.
Daniel Simmons, American Fork (UT)
Class of 2024

The Utah standout put together a new personal best at his state championships.
He claimed double gold in the 1,600m and 3,200m, was top eight in the 800m and anchored his 4x800m to a state title in 7:35.22.
In the 3,200m, he dropped an 8:36.79, which was just off his nation-leading performance of 8:34.96 from earlier this season. His 1,600m win was eye-catching as the BYU commit set a lifetime best and improved his U.S. No. 2 mark with a 4:01.27 at 4,500 feet of elevation.
This was his second consecutive 4:01 performance this outdoor season.
