A little shocker, UVA has a great facility, she was progressing well there too, is it because of Academics?

Pretty sure she just got on the portal this morning. Pretty quick turnaround to announce a commitment of a transfer. Seems highly likely that some recruiting has been in the works before she was on the portal…

Both schools are among the best public universities in the US, so I doubt if academics is the reason. Maybe she just wants to be closer to home.

UVA and UCLA are both decent schools ranked similarly.

Makes no sense to me. Obviously she's from CA and UCLA is a great school, but UVA is an incredible program full of youngsters. They were 9th at NCAA XC this year with 4 sophomores in the top 65, and zero seniors. She improved incredibly this past year after her 44th finish at NCAA XC, not to mention her 4:33 mile indoors and 4:11 outdoor 1500. I don't know if UCLA will even make it to nationals with Barnett, as they were only 13th at XC regionals last year. UVA is a young program that is building momentum, why jump ship now?

The schools are very similar.

Apparently so is Colin Sahlman

Excellent choice. Going somewhere that has a future and best coach in the nation.

Score 1 for Brosnan. He bagged a big fish here.

If C. Sahlman transfers, then this is Brosnan’s LA ‘28 build. The collapse of the BTC has left a void.
Will Brosnan get an altitude camp installed at Big Bear, for remote student distance athletes? If so, then Parker Valby should consider a transfer, as well.

Sam McDonald just transferred from Alabama to UCLA as well.

Hmmm Westwood/Beverly Hills versus Charlottesville. Seriously, you can’t see the reason?

You must be referring to team politics because the students at both UVa & UCLA tend to lean liberal.
As others have said, both schools are among the best in the country - public OR private.

Do you understand the differences in culture between L.A and C-ville?

If Brosnan could pull something like that off, then UCLA could become another distance power school and a pipeline for LA ‘28.

VL is the reason. People are tired of him.

These are good questions. Maybe she wants to be the clear number 1 on her team and doesn’t do well with challengers who draw attention (coaches’, anyone watching) from her. if she thinks Brosnan isn’t going to recruit girls who he hopes will be faster than her, she is sadly mistaken. Hopefully it’s just a no place like home thing.
