Look at any D1 Nike school distance coach they don’t have Nike coach in their bio. It’s one thing to coach for a school that is Nike sponsored and an entirely different thing to have Nike coach in the bio.
My guess Nike is funding the group, coming up with a better name for marketing that isn’t the same as Nikes competitor for golf equipment (little confusing right).
Honestly would love to see more of this, the top coaches are in the NCAA right now. A pro group tagged on to a college team makes so much sense. Facilities, training partners etc
The TaylorMade Elite instagram account congratulated Wayment, Morgan, and Camp-Bennett on their finishes in the 5th Ave Mile and "last race as TaylorMade Elite!" Did I miss an announcement that the team is dissolving?
She's really a terrible coach in terms of understanding the science. She's gotten away with copying others and has had super talented runners, but she really is clueless.
Honest question because I just haven't been paying attention, but has this group done anything of note in their short time?
They just sent 2/3 to the Olympics.
I'll also note that we hold pro groups to an unrealistically high standard. It's not like this group is oh so much worse than Brooks Beasts, BTC, UAC, OAC, then Puma group in NC, UA Dark Sky, Hoka NAZ Elite, etc...
It is not completely clear but this Nike themed party appears to be welcoming three new pros to the group. Ella Donaghu, Sadie Sargent Mitchell, and Simone Plourde?

a and Plourde were in the Nike Union group. Mitchell is a recent BYU grad who was AA in the 5000.
Thx for this post.
Maybe from freezing the party photo you can recognize the people being pictured.
Still waiting for LRC to at least mention the guys are researching a story related to Nike's professional altitude team expansion.
All we know so far are a few comments regarding the new teams in Flagstaff and Boulder, and now this likely new team in Provo.
Still wondering if a Park City based team headed by Mike Scannell is in the works. Growing number of top-level pros reside there now including Centro, Grant, Frerichs, and D'Amato.
