Isoe, in just her second career race, broke the women\u2019s 1500m record with a time of 4:10.39.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the USTFCCCA dropped the first rankings checkpoint for the 2026 outdoor season, with Kentucky featuring in the top 10 in both polls, coming in at No. 8 on the men\u2019s side and No. 10 on the women\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>39 athletes will be making the trip to Austin to compete in 33 total
