On the Fourth of July we debuted newly re-designed athlete profiles. The athlete pages on MileSplit are a unique hybrid between social media and traditional media. Most of the content on the pages is produced and curated by MileSplit editors; however, we also allow athletes or parents to claim the profile and take a bit of control themselves. The personalization options though--up to now--have been pretty limited, mostly serving as a generic professional athletic resume.
