Trey Rios kept sending videos in the spring of 2020, his senior year at Maize South High School. His 3,200-meter times kept improving – from not good enough to almost good enough to just good enough for Wichita State.
"Trey was a 10-minute, something, two-miler," Wichita State distance coach Kirk Hunter said. "No way I could recruit him. I advised them to videotape time trials. Send them to me. His first one was OK. His next one was something like 9:30 and we said 'That's good. We'll give him a shot to walk on.
