And he ran his marathon PB to boot.

Quote Of The Day

“Something that has long upset me is how silent so many Kenyan men are when it comes to the treatment of women. They don’t say anything, they don’t comment, and, when it comes to the work I and other women have done to enact change, it’s like we’ve been doing nothing.”

‒marathoner Mary Ngugi, writing in Spikes, a year after Agnes Tirop was killed in Kenya.

Disturbing Stuff

LRC Allegations of Coach-Athlete Sex, Rape and Doping Rock Huntington University Track and Field Program

Allegations regarding the Huntington University track and field team where Nick Johnson used to coach and his wife Lauren Johnson now coaches continue to come out thanks to the great reporting by David Woods and continue to get more grim. Two national champions for Huntington claim their coach gave them unknown injections and have asked that their national titles be invalidated. One claims she was raped by Nick. Police reports show Nick, who had already pled guilty to a felony after admitting to impersonating a University of Oregon staffer so he could take a teen recruit on a trip where the teen told police many sexual acts took place, has admitted to having sex with two other athletes and his wife admitted she didn’t tell anyone at Huntington as she didn’t want them to lose their jobs. She’s now the head coach. If that’s not bad enough, there are now allegations of PED usage. Did PEDs cause the Johnsons to leave the Oregon Track Club?
