Trenton Sandler
Background
Trenton Sandler is a D1 middle-distance runner specializing in the 1500m and mile. He is also an avid running YouTuber and creator, with the goal of making running extend to a wider audience through “running-based entertainment.”
Trenton started his career in running at Blue Valley North High School at 15 years old. In 2022, he committed to LSU to continue his athletic and academic progress. Though it was always a passion, it was here that he truly began documenting his story via social media.
In his 3 years running for LSU, Trenton progressed his mile to 4:01.91, which ranks number 7 in LSU history. At LSU, he studied Business Analytics. For a fun video with his roommate, he also broke the 3-legged mile world record in a time of 5:34.29. Trenton entered the transfer portal on May 28, 2026, after the conclusion of his Junior season. On June 29th, 2026, he announced his commitment to the University of Arkansas, where he will run his final two years of Track and Cross Country eligibility.
Off the track, Trenton maintains a large social media following. His goal is to close the gap between elite athletics and mainstream entertainment. Not just the highlights, he lets viewers in on the full experience of competing at the highest level of college running. Trenton plans to make content creation a career after college.
Trenton believes in the power of networking and credits much of his success to mentors such as Dennis Yu and running creators he follows. He also spent time at Declassified Media, learning the ins and outs of content production with a team. He is currently in the process of turning his content creation hobby into a functioning business.
Trenton also uses his platform for brand partnerships, especially in the running niche, working with companies such as The Feed, COROS, and Liquid IV. He also has experience creating content with several Fortune 500 companies, including Target, Uber, Amazon, Men’s Wearhouse, and Verizon.
Most recently, Trenton has been building an app Relentless: Mental Toughness with developer Rahul Kumar. Relentless is meant to be a bridge between athletes and mental coaching professionals. Here, athletes get real lessons grounded in sports psychology, and coaches get their content in front of qualified leads.
