WHERE WILL 2018 NCAA GRADUATING SENIORS GO?!

Kimbia = Bowerman so McGorty BTC.

Schweitzer will get a deal and try to stay Missouri - Purrior will try to do the same.

Jacob Thomson is going with BAA Elite.

Schweizer posted pictures of her in Boston on her instagram story? Perhaps visiting New Balance or Saucony?

I can't see BAA or Saucony. I could definitely see New Balance though, maybe going with the Bosshard group.

Even though I was sure she'd go to BTC, that might not be in the works. There becomes a point in which a group gets so saturated with talent, let alone domestic talent. When you have 3 American men/woman fighting for 3 spots for global teams in the same event, it can be hard, this is where BTC is at right now.

Saw Karissa Schweitzer in the stands at the Portland Track Festival, hanging with Alistar Cragg of BTC. Take that for what you will.

I’m betting Alice Wright ends up with NAZ Elite in Flagstaff. They’re looking to add women to their roster, and Alice seems ideal for the half and full marathon distances, which is what that team is focused on. Plus, she’s been training at altitude throughout her college years, so it would be a fairly easy transition to Flagstaff’s thin air.

Doubtful on contracts; product and incentives plus some travel unless they've a solid social media presence. 2830 10k had best consider mixing in some road races to make ends meet if their primary objective is the track. When the world is running 2730s and faster, you're not making a living on the euro circuit.

This man really said J money signing to reebok ???

Elise CRANNY- 5th Year XC @ Stanford

I wonder if Cranny is planning on pursuing a professional running career at all. She got a postgraduate scholarship and plans to go to med school.

Almost everybody misses a season at some point (12 seasons/4 years).

Those missing a CC year may get lucky enough to get a full-ride for that season alone., at a grad school.

If you're planning on getting a masters in Ed., Social Work, counseling, MBA et al that's half you tuition if you negotiate well.

What about Jerrell Mock? He ran 28:11 for the 10k his junior year, but he just seems to be in a little bit of a slump right now.

Why do you refer to a marathon as a full marathon?

They'll all be fry cooks for me!

Alice Wright to BTC

Wouldn't be surprising since she has an in as a former teammate of Frerichs. And it helps that she is not American, so brings some more diversity and less competition to the group. Any NOP prospects??

TRUTH

I had as good a season as many of these people and joined a group for $12k/year and realize how lucky and fortunate I am.

Parents basement... gotta pay off student loans.

Looks like you may be right, Wright just followed Josh Cox, NAZ Elite, and Rosario on twitter.

He might be going with BAA, but are they going all in on him? There are a lot of people who are “in a group”, but that doesn’t mean they are being paid. What has this guy done to earn an adidas contract?

Not sure if Ellinor has abandoned the steeplechase? Is she headed to Coogan at New Balance?
