About damn time
Congratulations @eholtthebolt VERY well deserved!
Oh, hallelujah!
Hope he takes his gf out to dinner and picks up the check!!!
Seriously good for him - it's guys like him that the sport needs to be strong. No he's not the top of talent tree and he's more than likely not making teams from now on but that doesn't matter - he is the type of guy that has contributed to the strength of US middle distance running by making sure that upper-middle echelon of runners is still at an incredibly high level of performance and that keeps the top guys always on their toes knowing at any time a guy like EH could take them. Good good stuff.
Good for him. Would love to know the amount and the terms.
He gets to stay with Tmann and EE too. I really really really hope he makes the 800 team now
it’s HOLTMANIAAAAAAA
My GOAT

For a minute there I saw Tmann written as Tinman and I was about to flip my s**t.

A great take on this, I have said this before to some, the sport needs guys to continue on to keep the game going, and that is not condescending, or there is no sport , if all it is is, is a top 5, bunch of guys who can make a living? everyone else leaves the sport or moves on, because they cannot afford it. There would be no really good U.S. guys to compete the events. Quite frankly in the 400, we have way too many of them. We probably have on any given day 12-14 guys that could make any semi final anywhere, but can barely make our own..lol.

That's the happiest I think I have ever seen this dude 😂 You love to see it.
Good for him. It's not clear to me that he's going to improve further, but he deserves the chance to see what he can do without all the financial stress.
Haven't had a pair of Puma shoes since my middle school gym shoes but might have to get some in honor of Eric Holt. Huge day for guys pushing 30 and living with their parents/living off their Hinge-date girlfriends! There's hope for us out there!!!
So happy for him!

Why in the name of all that is beautiful on God's green earth would anyone down vote your post?
How much we thinking he got? The details from his agent are pretty vague. Couldn't be more than 2-3 years @ $100K right (plus travel/gear)?
I don't think it's that much, maybe 60-70k?
What Parker Valby needs to go to the Olympics in the 10,000m?
Let's figure it out here. Road to Paris 10,000m Points after Trials Race
Did Sha'Carri choke in 200 or is she just a pure 100 runner?
