MOSCOW, Idaho - The University of Idaho Track & Field/Cross Country program is excited to announce the commitment of Bishop Blanchet's Tyler Graff to the 2022 recruiting class.

This past fall Tyler helped Bishop Blanchet High School to the top of the podium in cross country. A fourth place finish helped his team win the Seattle Metro title, and a seventeenth place finish helped claim the 2021 3A State Cross Country title in Washington. Tyler also ran at the prestigious Nike Northwest Regional Cross Country meet and Eastbay West Regional meet to conclude his season.

Tyler carried his success from the fall and continued to excel on the track this spring setting numerous personal records and competing in top races. Beginning at the Arcadia Invitational in California, Tyler ran 9:19
in the 3200 meter run, a mark he would surpass at the Washington 2A/3A/4A State Championships where he would finish ninth in a PR time of 9:11.75. Two weeks prior, Tyler had shown what he was capable of when he ran his personal best in the 1600 meters at 4:22.95 which finished fifth at the Metro Championships. This time was five seconds better than his mark in the 1600 meters the season before.

"We are excited to have Tyler join the Vandal family," Director of Track & Field /Cross Country Tim Cawley said. "He is a tough competitor and gets it done in the classroom as well."
