Matt Llano is no longer listed on NAZ elite website (bio/racing schedule etc). Did he get dropped or is he still sponsored by Hoka One One?

He still has hoka in his Instagram bio, but no mention of NAZ
Interesting, I wonder what is going on with him, HOKA, and N AZ Elite. He is/ was a founding member of NAZ Elite and one of their premier athletes for a few years.
Does anybody have any intel on what happened?
I have always been a big fan of his, so wish him the best.
Llano has parted with the team but is still sponsored by Hoka. I've changed the thread title to reflect this fact. It was initally, ": Matt Llano and NAZ elite"
Is he single tho?
definitely interested as to the "why" surrounding this decision. were him and rosario no longer seeing eye to eye on things?
He left his longtime coach for no apparent reason but was running well enough to allow his sponsor to stay with him.
Sounds a little familiar.
Wasn't there a female athlete that also parted,with her longtime coach after her biggest win of her career?
Hmmmmmm what do these two athletes in common?
JOSH COX
Rojo, I applaud you for stating your alterations to the title. I never had a problem with it but now it seems quite a few individuals are upset and I see this as being a fair solution.
(1) Wasn't Matt Llano the guy that thought he had 2:08 potential a couple of years ago?
(2) Wasn't he Rosario's first elite?

Why all the noise over a 2:12 marathoner that will not get faster at this point ?
Ben has done wonders with the likes of Kellyn Taylor and Scott Smith.
Easy on how u back up ben, he has beem given alot of talent and hasnt produced much. Come on we all know it, kellyn ran great at grandmas but come one nothing to call home about on a net downhill course.
I wish matt much success with his new love and all.
Ben does an unbelievable job. The only negative at all with NAZ is the connection with Josh Cox and his years of working with drug people.
Ben is capable of having several Olympians in 2020. Rothstein, Kellyn, Alphine, Fauble, and Smith are all on everyone's short list.
There is no way in hell any of them will make an olympic team. Sorry to bust your bubble.

Ben has produced a lot with the talent he has. On the men's side alone in 2017 he coached four of the top 10 US marathon performers and 2 of the top 10,000 performers.
Also, as discussed in another thread, Grandma's is barely net downhill. If anything, the slight tailwind helped Kellyn out a little bit.
Llano has totally underperformed in the marathon and should be able to run 208... 61:xx x2 add 5... if he's training right he can run it.
NAZ elite guys haven't produced anything but just "solid" performances. 212 gets you barely a bucket of piss!
How is this guy even sponsored?

Because some bleeding heart is convinced that it's because he likes boys instead of girls; and not because of his running results. Don't produce? You go home.

Please list what Craig Lutz has produced.
