Class of 2026 Mid Distance and Distance Runner Recruits

Dodged one? Is there a reason they no longer want her, or should never had wanted her?

LOL. She probably figured out women don’t enjoy running for the University of Eldoret at Tuscaloosa. Hell, even 3 Kenyans* have transferred out in the last 3 years.

Amaris Tyynismaa transferred (NC State)

Flomena Asekol* transferred (Florida)

Allison Wilson transferred (Florida)

Samantha McDonnell transferred (UCLA -> UO)

Elka Machan transferred (Indiana)

Hilda Olemomoi* transferred (Florida)

Pheline Cheruto* transferred (Missouri)

Addison Dorencamp transferred (Colorado)

Franziska Drexler left the team after 1 year

If only you knew

You’re talking about a 17 year old girl you know nothing about. STFU

This no doubt will NOT influence some comments, but I did at one point get a request for access (which I granted) from the email account shown on her IG page.

Heard Merrick decommitted from Colorado as well, interesting.

People are decommitting from commitments made too early? Like way before they needed to???

I was told multiple times on this board that that doesn't happen... why these kids feel the need to commit 6 months or 9 months before they can actually sign I will never know.... especially the really good one.

I think that it’s obvious why she de-committed. Pheline, Addison, and Franziska made up a strong freshman class, but they all transferred after 2 year. Why did an entire recruiting class transfer after 1 year? She was probably asking herself the same question.

They all transferred after 1 year.
