Parker Wolfe (born July 27, 2003) is an American middle and long-distance runner, who competes for the North Carolina Tar Heels.^[3]

Career

In high school, Wolfe was a multiple time state champion for Cherry Creek High School. He also won the 2020 RunningLane National Championships in 14:26.94.^[1] He was also awarded the 2021 National Gatorade Player of the Year for cross country.^[2]

He now competes for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During his freshman year in 2021, he placed 28th at the NCAA Division I cross country championships, followed by a ninth-place finish the following year. In 2023, he set a school record in the indoor 5000 meters in a time of 13:19.73. He finished fifth in the same event at both the indoor and outdoor national championships.^[1] In December 2023, he broke his own school record for the indoor 5k at Boston with a time of 13:13.61. In March 2024, he finished second to Nico Young in both the 3000 and 5000 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships. In June, he won his first national title, outkicking Ky Robinson and Nico Young to take the 5000 meters in a time of 13:54.43.^[4]^[5] At the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, Wolfe placed third in the 5,000 m behind Grant Fisher and Abdihamid Nur in 13:10.75. However, Wolfe lacked a sufficient time or world ranking to compete at the Olympics.^[6]

In October of 2024, Wolfe signed an NIL deal with Nike alongside fellow Tar Heel teammate Ethan Strand.^[7]

On December 7, 2024, in Boston, Wolfe ran 7:30.23 in the indoor 3000 meters, good for the second fastest time ever by an NCAA athlete, finishing just behind teammate Ethan Strand, who broke the NCAA record in a time of 7:30.15.^[8]
