Is Bowerman TC, Nike, or Fernandez going to make any announcement? It's so hard to follow this sport sometimes. How do they expect to have fans if people never know what's going on with these pro runners.
Derrick did that interview today but how about the other runners in BTC? Is Huling still running? Is Bayer still in the group? Heath?
I think I remember reading that Bayer left the group. Haven't heard anything from Heath in like 3 years
In Colorado at least, a degree in "Health Entrepreneurship" means you're going to open a marijuana dispensary.
Healthcare degree...So we have another uneducated (in exercise/sport sciences) coach guiding our up and comers?

Give the dude a break, guys. He is on to real life now. I wish him luck
Every few years, there is a National Champion / Record breaker in HS who just never quite reach their potential. Give him a break. He gave it a serious shot for years, but can't seem to stay healthy. It happens.
Here are a few names of others who never quite matched up to HS achievements:
Tim Danielson
Thom Hunt
Kenny Cormier
Melody Fairchild
Christine Babcock
Lots and lots more. Actually, pull up results from any year of Kinney or Foot Locker meet and you will likely find that well over half of these HS Elites never made All America in college, and only 1 or 2 had any sort of professional career. It is probably not from a lack of trying.
Why did Bayer leave? He had a good year last year. 4th in the trials.
Sounds like a better plan than hanging around and hoping that the training pops into place and the injuries fall away. He's family there and well-respected and its a great career choice as well. More power to him! Best of Luck.
He cannot run anymore in NCAA competition because he is/was a professional runner.
A timely tweet by German as he just shared this Instagram pic with the caption "One last ride"
He went back to Indiana, I believe to be coached by Helmer.
As for Huling, I thought he was planning to retire after the 2016 season, but I've seen some social media pics of the BTC guys that show him training with them. So I'm not sure what the story is.
He could compete in the Collegiate Running Association...$2000 here he comes

This is why professional running is joke and the "Pro" groups and their athletes will never make money.
Tell that to Adidas and Drew Hunter.
