This is exactly right! After she overcame so many injuries and from a way that worked for her in high school, why would any college coach change it! But then again the OSU coach figured why coach anymore when I can just have just 7 Africans on his team close to the age of 30


I'll add that these African runners have these really nice times, but most of them have peaked, and would be an afterthought back in Kenya. Meanwhile, you could, as you say, recruit a really talented HS kid, and actually COACH him, and after 4 years he'll be better than the Kenyan. This mercenary tactic requires all the coaching skills of the Wagner Group.

That's a shock...

In other news, your celebrity crush just signed with New Balance.

I hope New Balance works out, but very happy to see her NOT go with Nike. They would just break her, abuse her, and possibly dope her like they've done with so many athletes.

However Sam Whitmarsh, Caden Norris, and Grant Ashby are listed on the rosters section but not on the athletes competing section! If they run it'll be cool for them to have a little competitive workout! Athlete list also has Shewaye Johnson unattached

We have a very young team on the girls side and every meet is more experience. Gosh, just the atmosphere, running at this level, with so many other girls, the pressure, etc. will all benefit them in the future.

I am usually an optimist but a realist, too. Even with the reduced competition probably will not finish anywhere close to the top but should be several places higher than last meet. Take it a stride at a time (a play on 'step at a time'!), a meet at a time, and good things will come.

Our 'Valley Girl' not competing is certainly a negative but her time will come!
