As per her last few Instagram posts, we can now confidently say that Molly is being coached by Tim Broe and training with The Freedom Track Club. Also highly assuming she has signed with Saucony in this case. Wondering if there will ever be an actual announcement??
We knew this 40 days ago already.
This is not a "major" contract signing like youd see in the NBA or MLB. She is likely out there using her own money too. Free coaching, free gear and a free place to live with starving artist base pay at best. The rest is on her and good thing she comes from a wealthy background.
Genuinely curious: what has she done this year as a pro? She's been out of college for a year right?
This will not last long. Just wait. Been there done that.
She does have a Notre Dame degree to fall back on, presumably in a job competitive degree.

I think her major was anthropology... doubt there is a competitive job market for that major
I suspect this will be as successful a signing for Saucony as Aisling Cuffe.

Turned pro in june. Ran for ND at Stanford (33) in the spring. I think she lined up for one the big road races this summer but don't remember which one or how she did.
How ar ethese companies giving people with no real eleite coaching experience such wide ranging access while coaches with real experience get nothing. Molly and a bunch of mediocre runners? is that the best saucony can do?
there is a mistake on the press release. it should say "Dartmouth College" not university.
Pro runner means you can take $. Saucony island paying her a salary.
Last I checked Ben True was pretty elite

Nothing to do with Tim Broe is good or will last long
Tim is an opportunist. I promise this group will not be around n 3 years.
This thread is too positive - can we have more personal attacks?
Is this going to be a road group or a track group? Based on the athletes it seems like they don't know

Oh the horrors of racing various distances on multiple surfaces! Let's hope they don't get any crazy ideas and run cross country too!
(but actually - they should definitely run cross country too)
Molly has been rejected from more groups than the fat speial ed girl at the middle school dance.
