Andy, what you wont see on their site is the number of athletes who have transferred out or the number of athletes who were denied releases. What kind of coach doesn't release an athlete who is failing under their program? I'd say a bad one, you can take that to the bank.
Follow your dream!
And there is the problem with this site. Anyone can come on here and write crap.
The women's team is incredible and nobody is transferring. Nobody ever transfers. The women just get faster and faster.
The men's distance team had a stellar season, with three freshmen qualifying for junior nationals for 5000m. The middle distance group improved dramatically, led by a freshman who had massive PR's. Yes, a few men are transferring this year. The first time ever, all freshmen, and guys that didn't buy in or fit with the Christian atmosphere. Guys that hung out together and bred negativity.
Lipscomb isn't for everyone. It's a strong Christian university. The team is a family. The program works and has proven itself to work. Not everyone wants to be in a great environment and run really fast though.
