Is Parker Valby in the Transfer Portal?

Oregon has elite trainers and BTC resources to keep her healthier than she was in Florida. They have specialists who are distance runner focused and would probably make a big impact on her ability to train.

Not to mention soft surfaces to run on. Nothing in Gainesville but paved trails

Indoor track in Florida ? Do they use it in the summer and Hurricane Season? What a waste of $$$ by a University

She doesn't care about that. She runs very low mileage and cross trains. She is at a top college with the best team in the country with a climate that she loves and is close to family. Every factor will keep her there.

So far everything I've read on Valby and Solinsky sounds like pure speculation. If Solinsky does go to Oregon, then I suppose there's always a chance that she follows. I don't think scholarship money or credit transfers would have to be deciding factors. If Nike wants her badly enough in Oregon, they will pay to get her there and their non-selective pet university will accommodate. They have close to a 100% acceptance rate. Not likely that they would turn up their noses at credits from another state university for a star athlete coveted by their largest donor.

Stop teasing us!

Every Florida kid wants to go to UF, and it's free for most of them via Bright Futures. The acceptance rate is 30%. The acceptance rate at the University of Oregon is 84%.

If there is any intelligence in the situation, any ‘convincing’ would need to be writing, if you catch my drift.

Rheinhart Harrison is a Florida kid. That didn’t stop him from going to Oregon instead of Florida.

Valby is smarter

I'm speaking of the typical Florida kid. Both state xc course record holders went out of state this year, Rheinhardt Harrison (Oregon) and Caroline Wells (Stanford). (Neither did much in xc). So did Charles Hicks (Stanford) several years back. The occasional Florida kid leaves the state--mostly national caliber--but I've never seen a state with more hs'ers aspiring only to stay here, and if they do that, UF is at the top of their list. On the UF xc roster, there are 40 people listed, 28 from Florida.

I'm pretty sure rojo knows the answer. Check back after the holidays.

I think BYU does a lot of cross training. Would be a good fit!

I am from Florida. When I applied to colleges, I used UF as my safety, and then applied to 10 other colleges mainly on the east coast. Maybe it’s desired among average students, but (like everywhere) top students want to go to an Ivy plus school.
