Cranny to Team Boss seams like a pretty reasonable move. They literally train on her high school track, and her parents house it within a mile of Niwot high school. When she's in Europe competing Cranny regularly post on social media picture and videos of her hanging out with Team Boss athletes, and Emma and the others have always been supportive of Elise on social media, I doubt they have concerned about Shelby/doping, most of them have known Elise for a long time, and everyone who knows her knows she's clean.
like pretty much every runner who left (or is about to leave Bowerman) they want to train at altitude.
Cranny should give NAZ Elite a good look. running with Krissy Gear, Abby Nichols, and Katie Waserman as training partners would be a good fit.
So...explain this to me? I thought pros generally run at sea level and go to altitude 2 to 3 times per year? Do all other teams live at altitude the whole year (in US)? I mean NAU does, Colorado. But I thought altitude training was a camp they did several times year. Being bases in Eugene wouldnt keep you from altitude training. There is an endless list of medalists that have been based in sea level towns and go to altitude x times per year.
I think it also is a quality of life issue. Instead of flying all over, just living in a nice place like Boulder and Flagstaff (with a ton of great pros) has a lot of appeal. Oregon is no longer where it’s at, and Eugene certainly isn’t.

Here is Vanessa Fraser's IG post a week ago showing Cranny training at Stanford and hanging out w/Vanessa & friends in San Francisco:
Note: BTC resumed training in Eugene a week or two ago.
Cranny hasn't posted on her IG account in awhile, but both she & Courtney's IGs still include Bowerman Track Club in the short athlete bio section at the top of the 1st page.
No inside info . . . however . . . this could mean that Elise isn't leaving BTC after all . . . just that Jerry has acknowledged some of his athletes simply don't want to live in Eugene . . . and has relented by allowing them to live elsewhere . . . and train on their own this fall . . . while still coaching them at distance . . .
Don't know if Elise has decided to move back to Colorado . . . as many have speculated . . . or has moved back to the Bay Area . . . or somewhere else.
Same with Courtney . . . has she moved w/husband to SLC . . . or back to Kansas City . . . or somewhere else?
Since Elise has maintained radio silence on this matter for over a month now . . . can only speculate by connecting these data points (hints) above . . . which suggest this scenario . . .
