T-Birds Track & Field athlete Corbin Pyle made history over the weekend as he broke the Men's Indoor Track & Field 1000m record.

At the PV Indoor Invitational Pyle finished the 1000m event in 2:29.06, beating the previous record set by Andrew McCumber (2:30.05) back in 2020 by less than a second. 

This is the first Track & Field school record broken this season as the T-Birds hope it is the first of many. 

Interim head coach Daniel Pescador had nothing but pride in Pyle after his record breaking performance.

"I'm extremely proud of Corbin for breaking the school record in the 1000m! He had a very gutsy run and competed very well," said Pescador. 

Not only did Pyle set a new record for the event at Mesa, he also punched his ticket to nationals in the event as well.
