Ches signed for 80k/at the very best. I'm sure his bonuses are nice but his base salary is low compared to most NCAA distance champs.

The person above has no idea what they are talking about with Ches at #2.
I heard Wheating was close to 750k. I'd put him at #1.
What about Goucher? Didn't he get a TON From fila?
McDougall was pretty popular. I'm willing to bet he got a lot of money.
Chelanga probably made out alright. He set an ncaa record after all.
Hasay was pretty popular even in high school. She's probably loaded at this point in life.
Can't imagine Adam Goucher did too bad.
Jenny Barringer was like a bit less popular version of Goucher.
I think Sheila Reid was pretty dominant, but I can't imagine she got as much as she deserved. Maybe 15/16 due to nostalgic male privilege.
Hunter $1M.
Gouch raked it in and proved it was all a waste. He's a big poof.
Barringer did ok even though she tanked her senior nats cross race. Literally caked her shorts.
Chez got close to 7 figs but he's Kenyan so his parents prob got all that cashola that folks sent to their uncles who were in jail in Kenya lol the email scam
Centro got nothing because he isn't worth anything
Engels got squat because he is the ultimate chocker - like Jim Kelly the qb
True got nothing really because he was a late bloomer and well, where he went to school... who knew
Rupp is Rupp. Wouldn't be surprised to find out someday he was helping his coach backdoor some needles on the black web
The Merb didn't need anything due to a rumored 9 digit trust fund
But in the end, I will get all of the money.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
