On the eve of the 2016 Olympic Trials, Brooks Running has announced that University of Washington standouts Izaic Yorks and Baylee Mires have joined the Seattle-based Brooks Beasts training group.

Yorks signed with KIMbia athlete management agency on June 13 after an outstanding senior season with the Huskies. He finished third at the Pac-12 cross country championships and earned All America honors with his 30th-place finish at the 2015 NCAA cross country championships. His indoor season was one for the history books. He ran a 3:53.89 mile this indoor season, the fastest ever by an American collegian. He continued his success through the outdoor season where he ran 3:37.74 to win Payton Jordan against a field of seasoned professionals and finished runner-up at the NCAA championships. He will compete in the 1500m at the Olympic Trials.



Mires left Washington a four-time NCAA All American. An 800m specialist, she ran her lifetime best mark of 2:02.97 at this year's Brooks PR Invitational to qualify for the Olympic Trials. A valuable asset to the Huskies DMR, Mires was a member of the NCAA winning relay in 2012 and placed fifth (2015) and runner-up (2016) as the 800m leg for three seasons.
