Vin Lananna isn’t a coach anymore. He’s a Track & Field political nightmare. Gary is a huge talent and should have been in that 1500m final. He has two years of the NCAA left and transferring could be a good idea.

He would have qualified from heat 2, closing in 53 is not his strength

Vin is in his 70’s. He’s a coaching figure and not a real coach anymore. Gary is getting screwed and might not know it

What are you talking about, bro? He improved in the following events this year:
800 outdoors
800 indoors
1500 outdoors
mile indoors
3000 indoors
5000 outdoors7915 -
Ah yes a 3:54 mile, 3:37 1500, and 13:31 5k as a sophomore is a massive disappointment. He’s made great strides at UVA, just because he didn’t make the final doesn’t mean he should transfer.

Weird take, bro. Virginia men’s track won the ACC championship this year.
Everyone knows the 1500 was unusually stacked this year, bro. No shame in not reaching the final. He’ll continue to get better.

UVA won’t develop him for a pro career. If he likes being 70% of what he capable of then stay at UVA.

Sounds like you’re biased, bro. The 2024 ACC men’s track championship scores speak for themselves, bro:
1. Virginia
2. Virginia Tech
3. North Carolina2413 -
There was bound to be at least one disappointment in the men's 1500m. - captain obvious

Should he take into account that UVa is one of the best academic universities in the country when deciding if he should transfer?

Transferring is always difficult and a hard decision. Martin watching today was painful. His form was not good from the start. No finish either

He himself had the free will to choose UVA, chose to continue going there, ran the race and chose his own tactics, everything is his fault. You kiddo haven’t learned about accountability yet. You sound like some dumb astrology girl.

Gary loves UVA. He will keep improving and teammates make for great relays.
Vin has a guy in final of 1500, steeple and 800. Pretty solid so far.

Gary is primarily a track bro, bro. UVA is a better track program.

Bad take. If anything, when he goes pro, the peak and progression will be even greater. No need to make these stupid NCAA finals 50 times in a year.

Gary Martin is not as talented as you all think. He's just never going to be a 3:32 guy. It's his genetics.
His muscle fiber type is best for 3k/5k but he is too tall and heavy. His build is good for 800m but he doesn't have the speed and turnover.
He's doing better than I expected him to do in college at UVA. Their 800m guy Cohen is a BEAST, Mountain is the favorite to win the steeplechase and his teammate Porter qualified in the 1500 for the final.
Hard to blame the training when everyone else on the team is doing so well. Gary is just not what you think he is.
