Maggie Congdon was a track and field athlete at SteamBoat Springs High School in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. As a sophomore, Maggie placed 4th in the 800m and fifth in the 1600m at the 2017 Colorado High School Activities Association Outdoor Track and Field Championships, running 5:10.7 for the 1600m and 2:18.33 for the 800m. Remember, this is at altitude.
As a junior, Maggie Congdon excelled by taking first in the 800m and 1600m at the Colorado State meet, running 5:06.52 in the 1600m and 2:14.07. Improvement comes from focus and hard work.
As a senior, Magee placed second in the 800m (2:13.35), seventh in the 1600m (5:07.92) and the 4x400m relay (4th, 3:37.36). Maggie decided on Northern Arizona thanks to the inspiration of coach Renee Tumminello. Maggie wrote on NAU that she decided on Northern Arizona University because “I chose NAU because of the hard-working team and coaches, the fun team atmosphere, the positive and supportive team culture, and the amazing places to train.”
Maggie flourished as an athlete at NAU, graduating with a degree in civil engineering.
The Colorado native has won 12 Sky Conferences. Maggi has some range, in 2025, beating Big Sky in the indoor 400m in 53.73 and the mile. (4:50.72). Keep in mind that most of his running is at altitude. In 2025, Maggie Condon finished third in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 4:32.28.
One of the true signs of a great college program (and high school program) is watching athletes develop at their own pace. Maggi ran from 400m to 600m in the 4x400m and DMR, then, in the big meets, moving up to the 800m and 1500m. Maggie is a real talent. The racing intelligence of an over-trained, veteran racing star and a positive approach to the sport and life that inspires those around him.
