Sure hope he is getting an upgrade with wherever he ends up!

Same with Sara Sutherland. Did Saucony keep anyone other than Molly Huddle for 2021?
I thought he runs for Roots? Isn’t that a sponsor?
Medical?
Travel?
Stipend?
Bonus structure?
Noah just ran 2:09. He needs an agent to get him something.

He has an agent, Josh Cox. Roots Running Project is a training group, not a sponsor. Same as Team Boss or Boulder Harriers or Tinman Elite. His coach is also a PT/chiro, so he can get free treatment. His current sponsors are Polar and Floyd's of Leadville. None of this is a big secret. Saucony makes really appealing product but they're a mess in terms of sponsorships and I wouldn't buy their product until they get their crap together in that area. They drop True, Seidel (okay, don't match her Puma offer), and Droddy but hang onto someone like Thweatt? Nothing against Thweatt, maybe she extended on a reduction, but she's no more marketable than the rest of these and she's just as politically vocal on SM. What about Freedom TC, what's been going on with their branded group, why is it not promoted at all, does it even still exist?
Also, ND did let slip in a recent pod appearance that he has something in the works for sponsorship that couldn't be announced yet.
Happy to hear he has an agent. There is no American male that runs 2:09 that can’t get a shoe deal. Easy job for his agent.
I had no idea that all of the Training Centers were handled differently. I thought all of them provided all of the perks. Thank you for educating me.

Yes, his coach who beats us over the head his supposed doctoral qualifications. Perhaps he can transect Droddy's vertebral artery during a session and give him a stroke like so many other chiropractors do to their victims.
Jesus, and I thought I had really digressed...
Erin Teschuk Canadian steeplechaser to New Balance Canada.
I'm going to be updating our article whenever we hear about new athlete signings/etc. I'm hoping it helps make all this easier to follow.
I did confirm with Noah that his Saucony contract expired at the end of 2020. No news yet on his sponsorship plans going forward.

Probably going to be Adidas. He just followed them on Instagram recently.

Not a sponsor, a coached group without a group sponsor. Presented without further comment.
Bosshard is officially Hudson 2.0, just with a focus on MD instead of marathons.
I am confused.
Roots is not a sponsor?
Team Boss is not a sponsor?
Which groups are sponsors? Providing Shoe deals, Coaching, Medical, Stipends, Bonuses?
Bowerman (Nike)
Hansons (Brooks)
ON Athletic Club (ON)
Beasts (Brooks)
NAZ (Hoka)
Are these the only ones?

BAA (Adidas)
Pete Julian NOP Alumni (Nike)

NB Boston (NB)
Freedom TC (Saucony) - possibly finished
NC Group coached by Ali Cragg (Puma)
Mammoth TC (Asics?)
Dark Sky TC (UnderArmor)
Mission/Golden Coast TC had Adidas ties, not sure if any of that is still current.
You don’t think NB is throwing the Boss team some $$$? Yes I know not all of their runners are NB (yet)
No, not so much. There's a clear reason Jones waited months to announce a deal with NB. Coburn may be able to streamline a relationship with NB for those who are otherwise without sponsorship, like Hunter and Parsons do through their relationship with Adidas for the other TME guys, but there's a clear reason Dom Scott is sticking with Adidas and Thweatt is clinging to Saucony.
