Why is BYU so dominant?

Throughout all human history people usually got married as teens. Now BYU kids getting married in the low ‘20s is creepy.

Got it.

why is it creepy that adults are getting married and having kids in their early 20s.

no wonder country it turning red/more conservative. the left drowns in their own misery 24/7

my understanding was that tayson echohawk wasn't mormon

Is that why the Catholic schools don't dominate?

I don’t have a good answer to the OP but I just want to say I have been a Casey Clinger fan for so long and am so happy he finally finished what he started 8 years ago and his kids were there to see it and remember the moment for the rest of their lives.

If by 5 years, you 5 hours I agree.

you mean*

I don't think the Thompson twins went on missions. Pretty sure they went to BYU straight from high school.

BYU is good because of their attention to detail in every aspect. From their lifting to their mileage to their effort on runs to edging to increase testosterone they have everything completely dialed in. Eyestone holds everyone to the standard of the team and they all rise to that level. BYU isn’t a party school and their dedication shows.

You must be under 20 if you ask that question. For one BYU is at high altitude. Secondly their coach Ed Eyestone is one of the best coaches out there period. He knows what it takes. He was a great professional runner road racer and track runner for many years. Also the culture there, just as it was at Adams State under Coach Vigil for many years. Those are just a few reasons

They all get two extra years, it’s not rocket science

Anyone can get 2-3 years extra.

1- gap year

2- Red shirt year

3- medical Red shirt (claim nasty shin splints or mental stress)

Unlike the Mormons, you could actually be running during these years for a bigger advantage.

If that's not enough contact for example the Catholic Church, and volunteer for a 2 year mission. You could also run on this project.

Apparently, no one thinks this is a good idea.

They also redshirt etc. Plus 2 years.

Actually they are triplets.

I assumed he was because he's from Orem(High concentration of mormons and he could literally run to BYU in 10 minutes from his HS) and there's an Echohawk high in the hierarchy of the church.

But I have no inside knowledge.

Great point. Their strength coach is a great follow on instagram. I bought his strength training program for 5-10k runners and it’s legit.

No other university has a pool of runners to draw from as byu. If you are a mormon kid and want to run post HS you want to go to byu. Even the kids that don’t make it to byu go to byu jr and get developed there. If they succeed, they move up. If not, they stay at byu jr. byu has dozens and dozens of D1 runners waiting in the wings. There are plenty of universities they could run for but they won’t. They would rather go 5 years with the dream of running for byu (and not) then go to another respectable university and run for a great D1 program.

It's the coaching
