Well. Here it is.
Well. Here it is.
BTC is done
It didn't specify where she was going next. I wonder if she joins Emma's group? it's boulder based.
I think we all knew this was coming, but still a little crazy to see it official. End of an era.
Who's next? The dam is cracked
It was done the day that Jerry agreed to be the coach at the University of Oregon. There was no way he was going to keep coaching both groups.
That’s dope.
I will be joining BTC.
Literally!
Won many US titles. But at world championships it’s always been 8th or lower. A change is needed. Doing the same thing over and over can leave your career stagnant.
It's possible. Her and Fraser are very close and Fraser joined Team Boss.
No offense to Team Boss, but it does seem a little too small-time for Elise to me. Nobody on that squad can really push Elise in the 5,000 or 10,000. Maybe she could train with the OAC crew as well though -- that'd probably be ideal for her if she wasn't a Nike athlete.
I think some good dark horse options would be Diljeet Taylor (she'd have to find Utah-based runners to train with that could actually hang, though) or Rowberry. Mike Smith would also be a solid choice, as always. Woody has shown that the training can transition between the two groups successfully.
Probably not. Being a Boulder native she’s heard all the stories about Emma and Joe being scumbags.
8th in the world is pretty solid. I'd say our current crop of American women is probably capped at about Monson's performance in the 10,000 this year -- Elise did well in the 5,000. There is just absurd competition at the moment. People capable of 14:00-05 are in a different league.
There's just too many people that would have to have a bad day for our women to medal to make it realistic.

That's about her ceiling, not sure what your complaint is.
OR will end up firing them at some point, college coaching is a moving target. Not sure why one would choose to coach college kids vs Olympians but to each their own.
BTC is COOKED lmao
BTC is so far from being "finished". Justyn Knight will become an Olympic/World medalist with them. Mark my words. Will get downvoted to hell, but I will be proven right in 2025.
One (hypothetical) Olympian does not a track team make
+1
At least this time she was smart enough to not mention her favorite drug cheat:
"I wouldn’t be where I am today without Jerry, @shalaneflanagan, Chris, @pascaldobert, @colleen0205, @emily_pritt, @elliottheathbar, @liamruns, the entire BTC brand team, @bowermantc community, my teammates, training partners and friends."
Hypothetical Olympian? Knight made the 2020 Olympics.
