What kind of scholarship support does J'Vill St have with the pending move to CUSA?
Mid level journeymen job or dead end?
01 -
Most women only programs have funding. The move to cusa will further swamp that program

The admin at JSU do not support the program. It is a babysitting dead end gig. The head coach leaving for an assistant job at Tulane tells you everything.

With admin support, the program would be pretty successful. The core sports are pretty competitive.

Sandusky went to coach jumps at Cornell, they seem to be going all distance except one coach to do the other 16 events.

They are fully funded for Women’s track and Men’s xc. It might be the lowest paying head track coach position in D1.

Not many track programs receive admin support. Good coaches find a way. They just haven't.

Heard on the ESPN broadcast that Megon Elliott will take over cross country at Arkansas next season when Harter departs. Not too much of a surprise.

Hate to break it to you but last year at outdoor nationals the top 3 men’s teams went Florida, Texas, Tennessee. Not one of them score in a distance event but the closest was Texas getting 9th in the 800.
The women went Florida, Texas, Kentucky. Florida got a 2nd and a 4th. Texas got a 6th. That’s it. I’m not saying distance doesn’t get it done at nationals but these are the number from last year.
Good teams equal good teams no matter what. Get as many events as you can which usually leads to sprinters getting multiple events and throwers going for many events. Distance can usually only go into one event.
Facts mean nothing. The only way anybody on this board will respect a program is if they are all in on distance. Those fact you presented are meaningless to the people here cause all that matters is distance. Common sense would say that you’re right but this board isn’t full of that. It’s full of people who complain when they don’t get jobs they were never going to get or they complain about how teams don’t invest in distance
Right On!
Good Luck with that!

This is an absolute joke if the case. She has coached one season and is going to be tapped on the shoulder as the next head coach at Arkansas?? WHY???
Give it to someone who is both qualified and deserves it.

Meaning it’s rare to double up… happens but not as likely as a sprinter going for the 100, 200, 4x1, and long jump. Excess example but the point is made.
Distance important, yes, but sprints is most likely to double up or more. Even throws is more likely.
I like distance
I think the point that needs to be made is the contrary one. NCAA Champions in both the the 5000 and 10000 since 1963: Edward Cheserek, Lawi Lalang, Sam Chelanga, Galen Rupp, Robert Cheseret, Alistair Cragg, Brad Hauser, Men Keflezighi, Ed Eyestone, Gidemis Shahanga, Suleiman Nyambui, John Ngeno and Gerry Lindgren NCAA Champions in the 100, 200, 4x1 and LJ since ever: None.
This poster get it, even though the original argument was talking about overall points and not individual national championships, I’m glad someone pointed out the superiority of distance.

Any news on the lafayette college distance hire?
Head Coach Curcio can't find anyone dumb enough to take the job. Her reputation has scared away even the most unqualified candidates.
They currently don't have ANY distance coach on staff, it's been 3 months since the job opened. She isn't providing workouts to the distance runners, she is making them write their own workouts.
Lafayette still doesn't have a distance coach. The members of the team are unhappy with Curcio and are starting to talk about going in the transfer portal or they've given up and stopped trying.
Recruiting has been stagnant. Their rivals Lehigh and Bucknell are posting excellent recruits that are committing. American, Navy, Army and Boston are reloading. Even Colgate and Holy Cross are going to have a better recruiting class this year.
Even for a high school coach looking to get into college coaching, this is a dead end job for a deadbeat coach. My daughter is friends with Lehigh athletes and their coach who resigned in disgrace had more support from the athletes than Curcio.
