I am not sure at all about the coaching situation but I thought because there were probably some people on this board that run in the woods behind the miller center I just wanted to update you in the issue we had earlier this summer with the 2 dogs that were found to have rabies. We have gone 6 weeks now with out finding any animals to have any bite marks or tested positive in any way for rabies so I think we are in the clear but with all the students coming back and the activity level increasing in those woods we as a staff just want everyone to be careful and if you see anything that might resemble a rabid dog or for that matter any other rabid animal please contact campus police immediately
haha thats kinda crazy. i have never seen any animals back there and i have camped there a few times
I am hopeful the distance job will be attractive to some younger candidates who would hope to take over from Millar when he retires. There is still some talent on the mens team (despite the results under Bennett) and it will interesting to see how they do this year with a new system. It is great that the athletic department finally took an interest in the program and decided the results were not good enough.
Any word on where Annie Bennett will end up?

I'm sure Annie will land on her feet somewhere as a women's distance coach. The number of men looking to get into coaching distance running out numbers the number of women looking to do the same by about 8-10 to 1 so the odds are with her if a school needs a women's distance coach.
I understand the candidates for the men's distance assistant has been whittled down to a few and I'm sure they would like to get a hire soon.
I wonder if Jill Miller(currently at Brown) will look to return to alma mater and be the women's distance coach. I'm sure there are many qualified candidates that have applied.
Wasn't michael bennett supposed to be sentenced on the 5th of Aug. Is that Annie's husband? and did he get sentenced?
Mike's business is completely irrelevant to wake running. If you're really concerned find out somewhere else.
Anyway, Millar is at Wake now and hopes to find a distance coach soon.
Correct ! The distance coach is John's call. He has been talking with candidates.
X-country is here and now , he wants the person in place soon is the word.
I'm also interested in Mike Bennett. Anybody hear the results? It doesn't have anything to do with Wake distance running but it's not like these posts stay on topic.
Brad Hunt
I honestly cant picture Brad being in charge of anything. Its always easiest to be the constant cheerleader when the tough and critical comments are made by the real coach. Now, let the usual excuses like no scholarship money, too hard to get recruits because of academics, etc. But nobody eill call for his job even if he performs as poorly as Annie did because he is a "hard working middle aged white dude".
You can't see Brad being successful because you don't know him well. It's easy to be anonymously critical from a far (the LRC way). Nobody will outwork Brad and he will show you that you don't have to be a horses behind to get it done.
This coaching thing aint rocket science. You recruit your tail off and treat people right and coach them appropriately. Trust me when I tell you that Brad gets it and will do well.
Go get 'em Hunt Dawg!
Get that misogynistic crap out of here. I'm not talking about either Annie or Brad, but a bad female coach is the same as a bad male coach - they're both bad coaches.
Unless the new coach is grossly incompetent, he deserves his 3-4 years to develop a team. After that, if the new coach can't keep the Wake men's team consistently in the top half of the ACC in XC, then we should find a new men's distance coach. That's what I would consider the minimum for a team that has the funding and reputation, both academic and running, of Wake.
