This is sad. The program is in shambles. Poor decisions on optimum events for athletes ( we'll see if it gets better at PreNats). From what I see, there is a lack of support for the athletes who need development and over compensating for the better athletes to the point it goes to the head of these underperforming athletes in the big ones. I think seeking advice from the previous awesome coaches is needed.
Unless some spectacular influx of already established athletes via the portal happens, all will be worse next year.
Do you know the length of his contract?
There has been no announcement of a new contract. The current contract expires before July. There are rumors of a new contract, but new contract announcements have not been hidden before. If they are now, it is a new way of communication to Coug Nation that is not good. I guess we'll see.
Seattle Pacific distance coach job has been posted. This has been my job for the past 9+ years. It's a fantastic group of student-athletes and a fun, yet hardworking, coaching staff. Would love to see this role in good hands.

On the men's side, WSU qualified their 100m sprinter Louie Hinchliffe. That's it.
Their 400m hurdler, who Phipps directly coaches, flamed out after looking good most of the season.
I don't see their sprinter coming back to WSU, as I'm sure some smart coach out there is already looking to lure him into the transfer portal.
