Oops I guess my error on Reiss, I think we all learned a lesson this year on favorites vs actual performance.
The teams with 4 or 5 runners can really be in a bind with just one injury, or off result in November. NC St only won due depth, some luck with Stephens running well as a frosh, and other contenders muffing it up.
Heck, I picked CU in my early season ranking and a ton of us had Florida with only 4 + hope.

I too was thinking Colorado would be in contention for the title and most likely on the podium, prior to the season. Injuries seem to have a huge impact almost every season on the team title race, and you need depth, for sure. If NC State had Chmiel and a fully healthy Tyynismaa and Bush all season, they would have won easily and probably put up around 60 points at nationals. But they had a lot of injury issues to overcome, as did other top teams.
Seriously, she was there like 20 weeks. Talk about change of heart.
It's okay to abandon ship as soon as you know it's not going to work out. Why delay the inevitable? Would you stay at a job 20 weeks that you know is not going to work out? MIght as well just bite the bullet, and move on to the next thing.
Not be negative on C.U. (here I go anyway), I can't think of one female runner from my home state that has worked out there. They either end up injured, or transfer after their freshman year.
I'm curious about NCAA rules on this... not of the transfer but the announcement.
I didn't think transfers could be announced by the school until a transfer was enrolled and attending the school. And when I say by the school that's what I mean not an announcement from the athlete that is not an issue.
Just wondering because January isn't here yet and NAU is marketing the addition already.

They can be acknowledged at any point during an open transfer portal window. You are seeing a ton of football transfer announcements as well right now.

Can be announced as soon as committed, this even goes for high schoolers who make only a verbal commitment long before signing day. You will find these on the various recruiting threads.

The state of Colorado reminds me of the state of Oregon. Over the past 20-30 years, a lot of people from out-of-state moved in and changed the vibe of the place. It's more crowded, more expensive, and less friendly than it used to be plus the native-born citizens are pretty resentful of the newcomers. Boulder = Portland. Once the outwardly cool liberal locals find out that you moved there from elsewhere, you get the cold shoulder and you will never be fully accepted.

she did not give it time to see if it would work out, maybe 16 weeks with the team, around 30 workouts, 2 periodization cycles and you tap out? That is too soon but perhaps at NAU she will do better?

when you know you know. good on her for leaving a bad situation instead of hanging around hoping it gets better.

This was an odd transfer to me. She actually ran as cu #1 in a few meets, and with Baloga they brought back a promising group.
Like Frias last year, she is breaking her letter of intent, so may have to sit out a bit.
Agree with posters who say if there is a real problem, better to move quicker.
the last high profile runner to transfer after a semester I can recall was Nevada Mareno. pretty sure she only lasted at Stanford a semester before transfering to NC State

As a CA transplant to PDX, my experience has not been the cold shoulder that everyone is describing. People here have been very welcoming and understanding why we moved here, for the most part. Maybe it's my peripatetic experience that helps me fit in with new people, but I haven't seen a lot of CA people bringing attitude up here (they did get mad at me for laughing at what they consider to be 'traffic' up here - I'm from LA originally, commuted into Chicago, and spent over a decade in Bay Area hellish mashups on 101/880 so I'm totally skewed about traffic jams). I can't speak for Boulder since it's been ages between my last visit, but that place had a strong Portland/Eugene vibe back in the day - would be sad to see it turn into another generic landing spot.
Now, if you want to get a lot of hate, go to Boise, overpay $800K for a house that cost $150K 10 years ago, and tell them you moved from SF/LA because real estate is such an amazing deal (extra points if you talk about buying multiple houses to rent to locals). They'll just love you!

Can be announced as soon as committed, this even goes for high schoolers who make only a verbal commitment long before signing day. You will find these on the various recruiting threads.
This I know to be untrue. The school can re-post a recruit's post but can not announce themselves unless an NLI has been signed by a HS recruit.
I am fairly sure for the school to make the announcement no matter if a transfer or a HS commit there has to be an official school agreement for financial help

should be noted Dan Watcke is reportedly doing the same thing this year from Oregon.
Like Frias last year, she is breaking her letter of intent, so may have to sit out a bit.
At Foot Locker, Karrie Baloga said that while she wasn't yet ready to announce what school she was transferring to, that she was 100% sure she could run right away for her new school in both indoor and outdoor track.
I'm not saying she is correct or incorrect. I'm just saying that she said she looked into it and she was sure she was right. I guess we'll find out who is right in a few weeks.
