Mark my words, all four of them will plateau badly and possibly even get slower within two years. That always happens at NAZ Elite. Grijalva is the only exception so far

probably because Grijalva is not on NAZ Elite despite being a HOKA athlete
Baffled Olin Hacker is getting trolled this bad. Top notch American guy. Great dad. Great family. Very deserving of a chance to compete.
If he makes the games we will look back and wonder if increased eligibility would be better for more people to develop.
All of the best Hoka athletes choose not to run for NAZ.
Hillary Bor and Rachel Smith and Luis Grijalva have all run faster than any of NAZ team records.
The thing about this i find the most surprising is Krissy Gear. She is pretty much a pure 1500m runner (though has also performed pretty well in steeple) most notably outkicking tuohy for the win at penn this year. Is it safe to say shes moving up to 5k? Even as a 1500/5k type, NAZ seems like a stretch (see: ryan hill). Wonder what the thinking is behind this

I am surprised that Jerry did not pick him up. both men ran at Wisco
this topic was mentioned in hiring Alan Culpepper a couple month ago. that naz will look to expand their roster to include track focused md up to the marathon. expect Gear to stick to md focus
Krissy Gear is a mediocre 1500m runner, has no talent in longer distances. She won that anchor battle at Penn Relays, but Tuohy had faster split. I think this signing is just a charity.
