After all the highschool hype, Sam Affolder at UW and his brother Noah at UO have failed to perform. Sophomore year for younger Sam and he had DNF not once, but 2x this spring track at Stanford AND Raleigh Relays in 5k. Was this planned as pacing duties or did he legit drop out of the race? What is up & what is backstory - did he really get a lousy scholarship offer from UW after all the LV Jungle attention and why? Lots of rumors flying in Eugene bashing Powells for Sam's situation & that source is his UO brother Noah. Any truth to bad blood between Andy Powell & Affolder boys?

Noah is medically retired. I think Sam paced one race and dnf’d the other. I always found it weird that Sam committed to UW when his bro was at Oregon already.

These guys were great HS runners, but both were a year older than their grade. Not totally surprising that they didn't progress much in college.

Wait, because one is a year older than most in high school makes it not totally surprising that they didn't progress much in college? Huh? Please explain. It's not like 19 is too old to get better...
