DyeStat

DyeStat was a prominent website and online platform dedicated to covering high school and collegiate track and field and cross country in the United States. Founded by John Dye in 1996, it quickly became a go-to source for results, rankings, news, and analysis of the sport at these levels.

DyeStat provided comprehensive coverage of major national high school meets, state championships, and collegiate competitions. It was known for its extensive meet coverage, including race reports, interviews with athletes and coaches, and photo galleries. The site also featured rankings of top athletes and teams, providing a competitive landscape overview.

Over the years, DyeStat developed a strong community of track and field enthusiasts, including athletes, coaches, parents, and fans. It fostered discussions and provided a platform for sharing information about the sport.

In 2012, DyeStat was acquired by ESPN, becoming part of the ESPNHS (ESPN High School) network. This acquisition broadened its reach and provided access to greater resources. Following the acquisition, the original DyeStat website eventually ceased independent operation, and its content was integrated into ESPN's broader high school sports coverage. While the name "DyeStat" is no longer actively used as a separate entity, its legacy as a pivotal source of track and field information endures within the sport's community. John Dye passed away in 2011.
