that’s Will Crocker, he’s run 3:41 and is under 25. dude got a free trip to Europe to help her with workouts, why are you hating?

Was about to post the same thing. Will is a 3:41/1:48 guy who is a volunteer assistant at Mizzou. Getting a trip to Europe to pace workouts sounds like a pretty good gig to me!

I still think that she will be Houlihan's training partner soon. Please don't start accusing Schweizer of doping when she breaks 15 minutes.

strongly suggest option a.

pics?

We won't, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she broke it this summer in Europe

How long until he becomes her husband? Isn't that how these things go?

Right.

3:41 relative to a world-class runner = slow. Hard to improve running women’s mile pace.

24 with no results = old.

I admit the grey hair fooled me. That’s nice if Nike paid for his travel.

Bump. Did she race yet today?

Just finished. 4:06 FTW

Not a bad European debut. I guess her coach and her know what she needs a little more than all the Monday Morning Coaches on the message boards.

That's a huge PR. She will be sub 4 before you know it.

9 Americans in the same heat? Good thing they went overseas for that.

Almost a 4 second PR for schweizer (if you take the en route time indoors, over 6 if you take the outdoor time). Fraser took almost a second off her best as well.

Good lord, what's your contribution to life?

the internet, where no one can ever admit to being wrong.

Why is Karissa still racing??? Long hard XC season followed by a tough indoor season (3K-5K) then doubling 5K-10K in outdoor, USAs 5K. She’s got nothing to prove. With her mechanics I predict she’ll be injured before her first indoor race of 2019.

Because she does have something to prove in order to get the contract she wants.

The Europe series is a way for agents to justify their pointless jobs and for athletes to say they are doing sometime special. It’s all Americans racing each other and wasting their money, their parents money, or their sponsors money.

Y‘all some crazy conspiracy theorists.

I agree 500 times. Each one of these “pros” are spending at least $2000 on plane and housing to run races that could easily be setup in US.

Track agents are useless other than this ultimate good old boys club circuit. Can only imagine how much money they cheat their athletes and shoe sponsor travel budgets out of.

Huge run for Schweizer. Big PR, won by a big margin. She can definitely run a lot faster than 4:06. Sub-15 next week? I think so.

I see her poor mechanics and "foot strike" are already killing her as a pro! haha. Big win and PR in the 1500 and she will only get better. Still hating?
