Both he and his brother Brandon are talented but seemed to have flamed out. Sean had a nice Stanford career and both got good degrees so you can’t shame them for it. Shows how hard it is to “make it” at the next level.
Yeah, I mean Sean did get some time to rep USA at worlds so that's not bad at all
true, but in context, not as damning as it may sound. If he was in 10K shape in 2021 it’s not at all unreasonable to think he takes Klecker’s spot or maybe Woody/Nico’s in 2024. His career was marred by injuries, not talent/racinr acumen
And maybe Hunter could have made that team if he had focused on 10K. But he didn't. Sara Hall should have been able to make one US team in 6 Olympic cycles. Yet she didn't and not without good reason. Avoiding injury is certainly part of talent and acumen. Mental gymnastics and feelings don't change the facts.
Wasn’t 2021 the year he tried the steeple? He was decent at it but clearly an attempt to make a team bc he couldn’t hack it in the 5/10. And then that didn’t work.
Just a fan but the Olympics is the pinnacle for both athletes and fans. I think it’s fair to say he’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t make it in 2028.
No. Found pics, and I can see why that happened. Ms. "Steal man" is a looker.
It’s never ok to cheat, and it’s not that hard to break up with one person before starting with another. People, mostly men, tend to overlap their women and then wonder why their wives took it all in the divorce.
Sometimes I wonder which was more of the sliding doors moment for BTC - Shelburrito or move to Eugene? I would say the latter but maybe Jerry/Shalane don’t take the UO job if BTC isn’t compromised. ??

BTC / Swoosh TC - Eugene make absolutely no sense right now, they’ve become career dead ends. What used to be a dream setup is basically a death trap for any serious runner’s future. Sad, but it’s the truth.

McGorty and his shorty are cute but you lose them how you get them.
If you are a shoe company, you'd have to be an idiot to pay Sean McGorty a contract to run for you if you. Why in the world would you sign a 30-yr old who ran 13:13/27:20 this year and was 11th at USAs?
And if I was McGorty, why in the world would I continue to run pro when I am a 30-yr old Stanford grad. I had a good run, I should have no regrets. It's time to go make some money and find a career.
I guess if he wants to try a new coach for 3 more years, he can but the odds of him making the Olympics are close to zero at this point. We really think he's beating Nico, Grant or Graham in 2028?
God forbid someone actually enjoys running
I don't think shoe contracts or meets pay you based on how much you like running.
And maybe Hunter could have made that team if he had focused on 10K. But he didn't. Sara Hall should have been able to make one US team in 6 Olympic cycles.

This thread is weird AF. All this sh-tting on McGorty's career is bizarre, plus the idiot comment about "flaming out."
He was 3rd in the US trials in BOTH the 5000 and 10000 in 2023 (so not a long time ago) and ran at the WCs in Budapest in both events. Jeez, he beat Grant Fisher, Chelimo and Mantz in that US 10k final. McGorty has had a really good career but with a lot of injury issues. He lost a bunch of 2024 to injury. Not sure about 2025.
At age 30, he should keep going if he wants to and can stay healthy. It's not at all crazy that he could be back in the mix over the next 3 years.
This site is more gossipy than a teacher’s lounge, wow.
Par for the course but where else are you going to get the juicy bits on our obscure sport.
McGorty has had a decent pro career but perhaps we expected more. There’s still time left on the track but the next Olys might be a bridge too far. Might heavily depend on who his new coach will be.

Woody Kincaid ended up having a better career than him and that doesn’t seem right!

Woody was smart and switched to Mike Smith when BTC was imploding.
A lot of posts about a guy who did very little on his pro career. Yawn McGorty is right. He’s probably going back to Milt although Puma isn’t out of the realm of possibility given the Craggs.

A lot of people enjoy running; it doesn't mean it is a great career choice for someone in McGorty's current position.
