Lost their biggest name (Symmonds)

Lost their leader (Williams)

Nike goons on here trying to bad mouth Brooks? Shocker.

Actually Facts are doing the job all by themselves

Hey, they tried. I feel bad about Shaq signing with them, as he'll now be floundering without a coach or training partners.

Symmonds is still sponsored by Brooks and will be running in their apparal in his marathon build-up. Obviously he's not going to run fast by elite standards but the exposure he's going give them is unparalleled. Nice try though.

Wynne from Virginia just signed so they have some recent signees in Windle, Yorks, Fields, and Walker. How long are contracts generally good for? Regardless of performance, I am sure the club is set through to 2020 Olympics.

The only question might be Danny's role? They could drop the group and each one of those athletes would be left to find another coach/training partners?

Yorks, Kidder, Walker, and Wynne... Unfortunately none of them got better in the last year. These aren't the kind of guys that make outdoor teams...

Someone who starts a thread with this type of title clearly has an agenda. It could have just been "Jesse Williams leaves Brooks".

I thought Brooks had a good USAs with Windle making the team.

Then Hannah Fields had a nice run last night. Stuff the group definitely needed. Without Windle sure it's evaluated differently but he looked great.

Here's Jesse's statement.

And apparently this wasn't a secret as someone knew about it on here 10 days ago:

Or why not drop Danny?

Anyone know what his "next challenge" is?

Rojo you are the last person who should be accusing others of sensationalist headlines.

Your ignorance and general lack of intelligence and social skills never cease to amaze me. Who do you pay to run this successful website because if you were actually in charge it would have crashed and burned a long time ago.

I am not even a big fan of any particular group but I closely follow the sport....do you idiots actually look up results:

Yorks: PR'd in 800, won Furman in 1500, just raced strong in Canada

Kidder: won Millrose, PR'd in 1500

Walker: ran 1:45mid and had some weird surgery that wasn't running related and it derailed him (there was a Flotrack interview). Walker had a good indoor season too.

They are all improving, that's about as good as a year 1 can go IMO.

That NZ girl Mackey coached made the team. Windle made the team. Katie Mackey was running strong and poised to make the outdoor team and got hurt (so you can blame coach mackey for that). Garrett Heath had a rumored concussion that took him down. Hannah Fields rolling. Jess Tonn is back.

I get haters if there are facts, but you people (or my guess is one person, under multiple names) are not hiding anything. Someone has an axe to grind and my guess is it's got to be a Nike person, or how Wejo posted in that other thread he linked, that 1 person in Michigan.

This. Thank you. 🙌

I thought it was BroJo policy to simply change headlines you don't like.

why don't you change it? wrote:

I think that's a Rojo move.

"I chanced the title from UNC wins national championship to Tarheels win national championship."

Oh, cool. Solid move Rooj.
