right thing? he did what he wanted. that does not translate to the "right thing."

If the team absolultely "needed him", they sound like a very needy bunch, all the better reason for him to get the heck out of there. Why weren't they just running for themselves.
you are completely right. just run for your self. it is not like the team even exists. the ncaa has no team xc or team track championships, right? it is not like he signed legal documents saying he would compete at the university of oregon.

If a bunch of weenies started whining at me that I had to give up my dreams to do this or that for them, I'd tell them to shove it and move on. That's the same thing that happened to Jeff Nelson at Oregon, who also did the right thing, and left. Good for him!

Look kiddies, when you go to college or wherever, the decisions you make are for you, and YOUR LIFE, and the people who are important to you in your life, your family, your loved ones, not any control freaks who try to force you to do things one way or the other, regardless who they are.

Always do what you feel is right for YOU, for your future in life. You're the only one who decides this, not anyone else.

the main complaint people have about him is not even that he quit at oregon, it is that he did it 2 weeks before the end of the season. 2 weeks. as if this 2 week "jumpstart" on his triathlon career was going to make him THAT much better. the guy quit on them as they were heading into the regional championships. people's main complaint isn't necessarily that he quit, but the timing of it. he is a sore loser and quitter. he dominated hs xc effortlessly, got into college and realized suddenyly that there were other 22 year olds too who were a lot better, and his petit pù§§y couldn't take it. but that's ok, not everyone is made for primetime. and lukas obviously isn't. when you still haven't heard a peep from him in 10 years on the pro-tri circuit, don't be surprised

His Wikipedia says that he's 19. Where is this 22 year old/overage stuff coming from?

Pretty sure everyone here is just jealous that they can try all their lives to run sub 4 for the mile and it would never happen, but Lukas did it and he doesn't even care that much about running. He doesn't owe anyone anything and you can cry all you want but he's not listening
