Well then every other coach in the NJCAA does things the “wrong way” with their foreigners and connections with big D1s.

I didnt say that... one of the Cloud SA is way too old for D1 (or I heard ran professionally before so wasn't worth it from Harry himself)
Let's try and not get away from the fact that Degrado was arrested for assaulting another coach at the national championships.
Zero excuse for that to happen.
yeah just a little too much tbh
Agreed. Bad publicity for our sport. Likely going to lose his job for it too.
All yah can shut the hell up. None of y’all want that sauce
What exactly happened at the 600 meter mark of the men's 800 final? It looked like 2 guys thought it was the finish and leaned at the tape and then went down.
DeGrado hits hard AF though seen it before lol.
The law hits harder.
I won't lie that was clutch

Degrado is chippy about other teams having older foreign athletes. But there are older foreign athletes at every level. You would never see Wetmore assault or smack talk with someone on NAU's staff. His behavior was unacceptable, and I would be surprised if his career survives this. It's too bad bad too, because despite his ego he has done a decent job developing athletes.
P.S. some (but not all) of Cloud's distance athletes are over age by NCAA rules. NJCAA rules are a little more relaxed. I don't think they are doing anything that would be a violation.
He should be able to come back from this. He knows enough people and built up reputation. Hell, look at Dominguez when he got booted at St Mary’s for inappropriate conduct with a athlete. Got the job @ Missouri Valley the most sketchiest school in the NAIA
Nice try to change the subject .
This is the truth regarding TSJC and its affiliation with Adams State. They coexist.
If any other RMAC, D2, or D1 School had this setup it would be shut down immediately. No one cares because it is D2.
The entire team at Adams can’t lie if questioned, current or former athletes, coaches included.
Ask the AD and the problems he has dealt with regarding this cohabitation.
Hopefully Martin and his boys have been “coaching” the kids before the NCAA, RMAC, and NJCAA conduct their interviews.
The former distance runner from Adams State turned assistant at TSJC has insight in this relationship.
Ask the HC at TSJC. She needs to be held accountable too. Even if her daddy is the ringleader.
Ask them all and if they all deny it then they are all liers.
100% guaranteed.
Be nervous.
Live the lie of NCAA cheating.
Cover your tracks now but you can’t silence the truth.
Honestly I don’t know what y’all are talking about. I was just outsauced and fell.
There was also a female runner in the meet who competed without shoes as well!
Mesa Community College runner Quin Johnson competed in the women's 1000 meter run prelims on Friday,finishing 15th, as well as running the anchor leg of the women's 4x800 relay on Saturday with NO SHOES ON! Yes, she ran barefoot in both events. She is a freshman and keep an eye out for her during the outdoor season because she's running barefooted during all of her races this outdoor season!
Is there any update about the allen county coach situation? This is a funny story to follow hah.
1. Not always a fan of DeGrado but dude has my respect always honest says what most think and dont have guts to say
2. Saw first hand whole thing there was no throat punching, no punch was ever thrown, a mole was made out of an ant hill, back down drama queens
3. Use common sense DeGrado has coached for a very long time and if he attacked every person who beat him the list would go on and on. If you beat him fair and square DeGrado is the first to say it. Giving statics on races lost with no physical altercation shows DeGrado was pushed
4. Why protest a team finishing behind you that was messed up and weird that alone deserved a slap to the back of the head
5. What man calls the cops after nothing but a good old boy push to the ground wasnt even close to assault (saw the cell phone get pulled out and you could tell it was a Im telling on you conversation) Really wish I could bash DeGrado but man code was violated dude got pushed got up puts his hands up ask DeGrado if he wants some DeGrado says yes and sends the guy back on ground...not even a good bar fight funny really
6. The Law does hit but rember innocent till proven guilty and why would amyone want to get someone in trouble for a push and put in jail for a push really that was just a waste of tax money and flat embarrassing to be bragging about. I know from being right there if video pulled it shows DeGrado didnt assault anyone he was booked because someone was a crybaby got what was coming to their cheating program and they said I want to press charges karma has pay backs you just brought alot of attention to your program better hope you have a clean closet. You just caused people to do a whole lot of talking and speculation
7. look up assault can be just pointing a finger at someone assault and battery is real violence
8. DeGrado did as he does has the guts to say or do what many of us dont have the guts to
9. DeGrado learns politics we are all in trouble dude is honest, has built a program from nothing, is loud and has a ego, but he has passion and can coach
10. If he goes sport isnt going to be the same he knows how to compete for those who just pose as competitors this is great for you less work if the true competitors leave. I myself want to compete against other talent and DeGrados teams always bring talent and makes a hell of a rewarding thrill if you beat him. Ill be pissed if he gets tossed for pushing before I beat him
Hated DeGrado first couple of years when he was at Cowley but when I beat him he was the first to congratulate me shake my hand and tell me damn good job. DeGrado gave me with his running of the mouth ways a drive to be a better coach just to beat him and shut him up. Kyle running up to all the other schools athletes trying to get Allen disqualified rubbed more than just Allen the wrong way and looking at the whole picture I to think this should of never gone as far as it did and DeGrado was pushed and gave a "push" back.
DeGrado might have a edge to him but remember that KJCCC cross country title runs through Iola, KS. You talk to any of his kids and I promise he has their undenying support. Speculation will be speculation but the truth will come out soon.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
