I saw on Brittany Brown’s post that she didn’t win a state title, didn’t win a NCAA title, “Didn’t go to a big track school”, didn't have a shoe contract right out of college… All impressive things to overcome to become an Olympian, but am I missing something? Iowa, while not on the level of Oregon, Texas, Florida, is a P4 program with excellent resources, sends folks to (and scores at) NCAAs regularly, etc… When I initially saw the post, I was thinking mid major/lower tier DI, DII, not a big program like Iowa. Kind of misleading after I looked into where she went.

Iowa? I never even knew that was a college. Iowa State maybe.
i just looked up The Indoor nationals results, and they scored 21 points. That’s with only three guys scoring. It’s a nowhere school.

Iowa is not a big track/ cross country school.
They actually have fewer resources compared to the big schools that treat their athletes like royalty. Better than most pro athletes.
To the average fan who never competed at a high level, it’s understandable you wouldn’t agree.

Spoken like someone who’s never seen Iowa’s facilities in person. It’s understandable though, not everyone has been to Iowa City. Ignorance is bliss I reckon
