Lexy Halladay-Lowry is chasing the clock while rewriting the record books.
With an indoor mile PR of 4:31, a blistering 8:40 in the 3,000, and a sub-15 in both the indoor and outdoor 5,000m, Lexy is one of the fastest ever to do it in NCAA history.
She’s an 8-time All-American, a two-time NCAA cross country team champion, and the current No. 2 in the nation in the steeplechase after clocking 9:08 and finishing runner-up at the 2025 outdoor championships.
From breaking five minutes in the mile as a seventh grader in Idaho to rising through the NCAA ranks, she has been on a steady rise.
She was 14th in the 2025 cross country championships and 2nd and 3rd in this year’s indoor 5,000m and 3,000m.
She holds multiple school records at BYU, plays the violin, studies public health, and made history as the first NCAA runner to ink a NIL deal with Kiprun.
There is much to unpack with Lexy: her Olympic dreams, her process for building championship poise, and what it takes to keep rising when the pressure hits hardest.
In today's conversation, Lexy walks me through her remarkable NCAA performance, all that led up to that performance, inside her training and mindset with BYU, her plans for her future and turning professional, and so much more.
This is an inside look at one of the greatest to ever do it at the NCAA level for the steeplechase.
