It’s a sprint coaching position. It literally says that in the posting. I’m guessing you’re a coach, because no college athlete I know is looking at job postings. So either apply or quit stirring sh*t about other programs.
If you’re not a Tommie, your chances of being hired are slim since all their assistants seem to come from there for some reason.
Long time lurker, first time poster with a serious question here.
In looking at rosters, it appears the Oles have the largest roster by quite a bit. They even double Carleton. Why is they are so much bigger? Do the guys that are No’s 30-40 on the team wish they’d have gone somewhere else where they would make an impact?
If you’re a rising senior and have no chance at running Regionals would you consider transferring to a Hamline where you’d be the top (hamm’s) dawg or a Gustavus where you could move them into top 3 contention?
Why have the rosters of some schools decreased so much in the last five years?
Will Mo Bati ever transfer to BYU? If he does, there will be people on the team older than him during his very last year of eligibility 😀😀😀
I feel pretty bad that you are sad and lonely enough to have to post this and think it’s remotely funny or clever.
There are no age limits in D3 and you’re just hating on someone who came here @18 without speaking any English, graduated high school and is now getting a college education.
I’m sure you were blessed with infinitely more opportunity than him yet have accomplished nothing with your life. I guess I’d be a bitter loser too if I was you.
Ironic that people are commenting on Bati when Hamline is bringing in a grad transfer that finished undergrad in 2021.
Bati can do what he wants, it's great to have an athlete like him provide national-level competition for the MIAC throughout the season. I hope he stays healthy and is able to pull others to nationals with him. I'll root for him to do great things in XC and I'll laugh when he sits on the back of dumb Oles on the track just waiting to outkick them.
Impeccable timing; I was about to report on Hamline making an addition.
Trade: Hamdogs & Gusties swap picks.
- Hamline receives: 2024 First Round pick (originally from St. Scholastica)
- Gustavus receives: 2025 pick swap, 2025 second round compensatory pick, 2039 second round pick
Hamline receives a much needed experienced addition (maybe too experienced?) for their lineup. Gustavus cashes in on a pick that had significantly less value than they originally thought and gets more picks to build around the potential quartet of Brauer-Pouliot-Berge-Cox (and also acquired a current preschooler in the process). Probably a win-win but who cares about trade grades anymore.
I also should have reported on all of the Bethel trades that were made (most were from St. Mary’s in exchange for cash considerations), so I might do a full report of that in the coming weeks.
Also, while many of you thought my previous post was utter crap, it appears there may be some nuggets of truth in there. You’ll get an update on this in around 6 months.
If Devin were smart he’d go to every Collegeville club run and buy after run Hamm’s to convince all the Oles and Gusties that train with that group to enroll in one Grad class to gain eligibility. From the Oles alone he could have Munoz, Kardrofske, Lonergan, and Montressor. He could offer Brenk a couch to stay on and they might be a top 3 MIAC squad.

If you're Brauer, why wouldn't you go to St. Thomas or Mankato. Both are terrrible at XC and can let him focus on trying to run 3:42 and a possible 2028 Trials run while getting paid.
it was actually olaf academic administration that gunned for the axing of the state meet, because it was consistently held at the same time as music festivals and admitted student activities that the school gets more money from despite the giant xc roster
This incoming Mac class is legit. 1:53/4:17 (arguably the best recruit in the history of the MIAC), 9:44 , 9:52, & 9:56 with a few others to be announced. I think someone said Ulrich from Waconia was also coming in.
I’d think they could challenge Olaf and Carleton with their returners and this group right away. And on the track, I can’t wait to see the younger Ihrke and Ulrich battle with Lelinga & Brauer the next few years.
Looks like a very talented group of freshmen all around though. The Oles desperately need to figure out some things from a recruiting standpoint. Power still hasn't shown he can develop recruits that weren't Phil's commits and they can only live off his previous successes for so long.
You heard it here first, the tides of Power (pun intended) are shifting in the MIAC.
How they weren't top 5 in the country with Bocovich, Curtis, Kelly, Lyford, Sagedahl, Kosche, , Arne, & Lynn is the biggest waste of running talent. Add in guys like Skemp, Stresemann, Cassidy and yet another Coffey and you just have ask what the heck is going on.
I talk to two MIAC coaches a lot and they all wish they'd been gifted such a lineup and think it is an absolute travesty such talent is allowed to flounder in Northfield. Both would have been likely finalists for the job and enjoy telling Oles they raced how much better the current team could be with a less bizzarre training plan.
We all expect them to be good this year, but it is great to see the level of talent rise in the MIAC. During Outdoors alone, we saw 50 men sub 2:00 with 7 underclassmen under 1:55, 14 sub 4:00 (including 9 under 3:53!), 14 under 15:00 which I believe is a MIAC record, and 18 under 10:00 which has to also be a MIAC record too. This is exciting and I can't wait to see non-northfielders level up!

Roy is the second best recruit in the history of the MIAC. 4:11/9:14. After years of Ricks training he even has a respectable 800 now. Ihrke is now in the argument for sure. But Bati is the top recruit.
As for the Oles training, Coffey has been riding his bike around town all summer chasing Strava crowns. His running has been sporadic due to a summer crush.
