The kid ran 1:49 indoors as a freshman. Coach has got to find a way to Taylor his training to that kind of talent's physical and mental temperament.

OP here. I graduated from MIT a while ago, but I did not have any affiliation with its cross country team. It appears that with Riley Macon as head coach now, MIT has begun to show its true colors. Extremely proud for them!

I was a top runner on MITXC/TF for 4 years. Halston Taylor was definitely a toxic, bullying, and verbally abusive coach who failed to reach his team's potential, and ruined many great runners in their college careers and beyond. Those alums who defend him tend to be just as toxic have internalized his rhetoric. I don't know much about coach Macon, but I'm glad Taylor is out of the team's way.
very based very inspiring too. That moment reminds me of my current college coach. Won't say who but am also a D3 runner who got caught up in the partying lifestyle but have now realized that I need to prioritze athletics and academics first
Track coaches are for the most part unemployable and as a result will put their job security above anybody else’s welfare.
