She can enjoy racking up titles in a division well below her abilities. None of her peers if she makes it to the next level will support her after her taking the side of the abusers instead of victims. Careful not to say this on Twitter, the head coach will follow you!! Another sad story in our sport.
The NAIA seems very lenient about doping. Huntington runner Stutzman tested positive, yet you can't find a thing about it online, as if the NAIA is trying to sweep it under the rug.
I’ve peripherally followed the drama and am aware of the allegations against the Johnsons and all of that but can anyone give me the Cliff Notes version of why she change ld her commitment to Colorado? TIA
She may or may not believe god put he who must not be named in her life to maximize her talent on the track.
Obviously the Johnsons are still coaching her. They have been to every big meet she has ran in this year. Wouldn't surprise me if somehow they are still on payroll with the school. The new coach did nothing remarkable other then pouch some athletes and coaches from his old job.
Honest question, do you honestly think that Wiley could have done what she did today at the D1 level?
Next question, do you honestly think that Tuohy could have done what Wiley did today if she were at the NAIA level?
NAIA is a joke. Inferior academics and athletics.
There are some pretty good schools in NAIA. By and large, the academics are terrible, but definitely some schools that would be better suited for D3.
NAIA is far superior to division 3 in athletics. Not even close. Even after they lost a lot of their best schools to D2. Prior to a bunch of the best NAIA schools (shorter, Oklahoma Baptist, Azusa Pacific) going to D2, it was just as competitive as D2.
Wiley went to NC looking for Tuohy. Tuohy ran home to NY.
Ya girl barely beat Maatoug in that race and she needs to #feardopingcontrol. But obviously NAIA doesn’t care about that or about the other serious allegations. What a joke.

It depends on the sport. Most D3 schools can beat NAIA schools in soccer - both women's & men's. Football? NAIA is a joke. The top D3 schools have their way with the top NAIA schools. Most sports, actually.
The big difference is that some of the best academic schools in the country are D3 schools and some of the worst are NAIA.

Also, do yourself a favor and check out the USTFCCCA record book and compare D3 to NAIA.
