I've been told on decent authority that Huntington is courting a Great Lakes coach to take over and rebuild. Based on what they were dealt at their current school, it could be a great hire. Other than a really nice paycheck, is there any reason to take this job?

Nice paycheck and good funding plus NJ finally convicted etc so maybe they'll finally stay tf away which is what I heard was an issue prior.
The admin made it about Wiley and let her do whatever she wanted it looks like to the detriment of the overall program

Who? Everyone has turned them down or would not even consider it. Any GL coach with a brain would avoid Huntington.
They’re not “courting” anyone. That is completely false. But so is “everyone has turned them down.” There have been no offers extended to anyone. They entertained Voyles over the summer, but ultimately couldn’t come to an agreement. I don’t expect any offers to come soon to anyone according to people within the program.

Roark does not want to continue to coach the distance group, if for no other reason, it negatively impacts his ability to recruit and coach jumpers. I'm assuming that "couldn't come to an agreement" either pertains to them not paying her the same salary that Neideck commanded or they could not guarantee that previous coaches would not be absent from all things Huntington distance
If the administration at HU considered Voyles as a potential coach, they should be fired. It has an awful recent past and is just what you want an inexperienced coach taking over to help it recover. I would like to think that it was just a rumor but…..

I don’t think she was ever considered for a head coaching position, but rather just an assistant on Roark’s staff. From what I know, he’s not looking to hire a head coach over XC or distance.
Apparently the person who posted most of the good info here and ran the instagram page is no longer doing that because of the bullying and harassment he was receiving on instagram, so i’ll do my best to take over and try to include everyone, put forgive me if I leave someone’s performance out.
I would say the most notable performances of the weekend came from GVSU, where Eli Fullerton (IWU) and Luca Madeo (Cumberlands) went 14:14 and 14:15 and each hit A standard in the 5k. So far there is 3 A standards and then 11 B standards in the 5k, which is much more than I expected at this point with the standards being raised. There are much less standards hit in the other distance events, however I don’t think that means much since it’s so early. For those who don’t know, the fields at nationals will will be filled to 20 if there is less than 20 A standards, which I can see happening for a few of the distance events.
Other notable performances would be Nate Hamoud Mehdi (Madonna) running an A standard of 8:17 in the 3k, Cole Bennett (Cumberlands) with a 12:47 in the 3k Racewalk, and Dylan Grandon (St. Ambrose) with a converted 1:52.44 800.
Are they caping it at 20? If so how does that work B standards?
To my understanding, the field sizes for each event will not be capped at 20. The rule of filling each field to 20 will ONLY occur if there are less than 20 people qualified per event
The minimum field size is 20. After all A and B standard declarations, if there are still not 20 entrants, the event will go descending order down the performance list and an athlete can be accepted via petition until the field size reaches 20. (16 for multis).
