UCLA baby! Everyone wants to be coached by the best in the biz.
Dalia Frias has started "Liking" Duke track and field posts again on Instagram. Might mean nothing. She could indeed be headed to UCLA. But it stands out to me because she stopped doing that in March as the transfer rumors began.

Yup , just looked and she was not in this morning, but has just entered
sadly she won’t be highly recruited.
Touchy situation, particularly without knowing the reasoning behind her wanting to make such a rapid move (didn’t even complete her first year with the school).
I’m pretty sure that with some TLC she’ll do well. 7th in the country as a Freshman and a 15:24 is phenomenal.

With that being said; however, in order to be a top runner, she needs to be able to run, and to train to run, not cycle, etc. That’s all great for aerobic capacity, but she needs to have the strength to be able to run consistently.

Can confirm she is in the portal. Announcement soon.
Not sure what she is looking for that she couldn't find at Oklahoma State. They got her into great shape. I don't think another coach would have had her finish any higher than she did in xc.
No coach can fix her form. And a coach isn't responsible for the fact that she is injury prone.
So what does she think another school can do for her that wasn't being done for her at Oklahoma State?

The fact is Dave Smith does not coach. He tells his runners to run X distance and they better be able to handle X. There is no individuality. If you are a fragile athlete you will not do well at OK State.
Dave is a great coach and does a ton of individualization. None of the national champions that he coached have trained the same. Edwards did heavy cross training, Josh Thompson did a different schedule (Mormon).
how about this take, she is unhappy. Happens a lot, could have nothing to do with running.
