"NIL is an incredibly dynamic space right now, and we see the opportunity with it evolving almost daily," said Derek Lactaoen, Brooks Sports Marketing Manager for track. "At Brooks, we know that athletes have always been more than their performances, each with their own unique story to share with the world."

"At the collegiate level, we've seen cultural appetite continue to increase for more stories like those of the NIL athletes we work with, so we'll continue to expand there. And now, we're seeing that excitement and buzz extend into high school ranks. We're excited to officially enter the space with this amazing group of young athletes and continue to grow our investment into the sport in a way that builds on what we're already doing with other initiatives like the Brooks PR Invite, PR Challenge, and more."
