Bobby must really dislike Hanson's.
Didn't mention them once in the interview. He easily could have said Hanson's teammate Mo Hrezi, but went out of his way not to mention that.

Bobby Curtis destroyed all of those so called elite west and east coast recruits.
Thanks!!
thank you, bobby, for your role in the "track in the fast lane" videos, which i wish i had somehow saved when i stumbled across them way back in the day.

Fake News. @hansonsrun tweeted multiple times in support of Bobby at worlds, and I think I saw Kevin on course during the race.
Nice to see some real class on the board here. All the best to BC and congratulations on a career all but one of us on this thread would likely have killed for.
Dislikes the Hanson's????? What??????? Analyzing and comprehension are not your strong areas.

I dont think there was a place for Bobby plus a la Lockhart Solinsky was generally annoyed by people named Bobby and I think he wouldve brought tension based on name alone. BAC had Teg, Solinsky, Bairu, Nelson and Jager - major Wisconsin conenctions. Brought in Fernandez, Ahmed, Bumbalough, Hill and some others. Those guys all fit. Put Pascal Dobert on staff. Curtis would not have lasted here.
Also I think Curtis was on drugs, sorry Craig. Nice post though.

Bobby may be the last dude I would ever suspect would be on drugs.

What a classy and considerate post from Craig Virgin.
Who?
Bobby ran the first sub 4 mile I ever saw, at Swarthmore's Last Chance meet in 2007 (leadning a teammate across the line under 4 as well). It was pretty special. Best of luck in your future endeavors Bobby!
Well, I've talked to your parents and even they said that you don't "think" very well.

Trialswatcher -
I think you owe me $1000.
Good career, seems like a good guy. I rooted for him. Now we have another investment banker. Not much to root for there.

http://www.letsrun.com/news/2016/02/rrw-olympic-trials-marathon-biggest-ever-opportunity-bobby-curtis/I want to congratulate Bobby Curtis on a great running career. I have followed him since he was in H.S. down at Louisville, KY which is only 4 hours from me (closer than Chicago is to me) and he really was the first KY prep distance runner in my memory to compare well nationally and then go on to do something special in college. He took advantage of the now much better opportunities to run fast "time trial" 5K's and 10K's now offered in the USA and got some really good PR's... plus it is always special when an American can win an NCAA title in the era of overage foreign distance runners (despite what their official passport may say) and Bobby did that for Villanova and did it with style! Every top distance runner has a tough decision to make about when to "pull the trigger" on their own pro running career and start a new non-running centered career/life. With his recent MBA from Michigan and a new job already secured in Philly.... maybe everything "came into perfect alignment" for Bobby to make the transition now rather than compromising on his new career and trying to run for another 1-3 years... or, until next Olympic year in 2020. It's always a tough decision but I respect his thoughtful intellect and self analysis. I thank him for what he did for distance running in America and also in the Southeast/Midwest....and for making 3 US X-C Teams when other top American stars did not support that national team quest. I'm sure he ran more Trials than those 3 so he stayed committed to X-C when others bailed for whatever reason. Anyway, Bobby, even though you don't know me well... you had a great run and I just want you to know that I appreciated it and best wishes to you now in your new life.
This is the second coolest thing to happen to Bobby in his running career.
This guy has been tough as nails his whole career, HS in KY, Villanova, and some great runs as a pre Olympian and professional ! I have enjoyed watching him perform all these years , hope to catch you in the speaking tours some day! Good luck in your future endeavors!
