Agree. If Tyynismaa wants to be a champion, she should go to NC State.
Top teams
1. NC State
2. New Mexico
3. Alabama

Brosnan will outperform Mike Smith by using American runners. Mike Smith denying American kids scholarship going all over Europe and beyond. I thought the south was “America First” in ideology?

Why she should transfer to NC State
1 - Coach Will Palmer left Alabama
2 - Chelangat peaked
3 - NC State is a championship team gunning for a 3-peat
4 - Better running trails in NC
5 - Better and faster teammates that can help her get better 1500m to 5000m/6k
6 - Katelyn Tuohy is your teammate
7 - A real team-oriented program that cares about their runners
1. So why shouldn't she transfer to Florida and run with Valby?
2. Chelangat is a senior and will not be around next season anyway.
3. Alabama is one of the nation's best teams and placed 3rd this year.
4. Having lived in both the Research Triangle and in Colorado, I don't think Raleigh has much to brag about when it comes to trails. I'm sure the trails near Tuscaloosa and as good as those in Raleigh.
5. Fast teammates are not needed (Valby and Ramsden from Harvard - both top-10 this year)
6. Who cares?
7. As opposed to those other "non-team oriented" programs like BYU, New Mexico, NAU, OK State, and many others?
And I'll add:
8. She is from Alabama and probably grew up loving the Crimson Tide and is proud to represent her home state.
9. She has two top-9 finishes in CC including a 3rd place finish, is an All-American in the 1500, and qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 1500. In other words, she is achieving success at Alabama. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
It's starting to sound like NC State fans are a little concerned about 2023 after New Mexico tied them at Nuttycomb and they are looking for every transfer they can get. First Valby, now Tyynismaa, who is next? Cook? Roe? Stearns?
well for one thing Valby does not run much

NC State has no money. And for the poster who said NC State wins championships, he doesn't realize that distance runners compete in 3 sports.

Mike Smith grew up (and graduated from high school) in Massachusetts. Or are you saying that Northern Arizona is part of the "south"?

Right. And they've won the national title in the 5k outdoors for the last two years. Probably will win an indoor title this year.

Teams don't win 5k titles. Did Stanford win the men's 10K XC title?

Your initial post did not distinguish between team or individual titles.
The fact of the matter is that NC State has recently won individual championships in women's distance events/sports outside of cross country. They've won the women's individual outdoor 5k championship for the last two years in a row.
You seemed to be indicating otherwise, insinuating that NC State has "not" been winning championships in running outside of cross country.

Is she actually in the portal or something?

Ummm … gonna guess… desire to go to NC State? Why? Is there a giant boulder blocking the road? No more flights to NC? Chained in her house? Is actually illiterate and can’t sign transfer papers?

Maybe she likes her coach. Maybe she likes her teammates. Ummm SHE’S FROM ALABAMA. Maybe she likes running in Alabama. Maybe she wants to be close to her family. Maybe she likes her classmates. Maybe she likes her teachers. Maybe she likes her degree program. Maybe Alabama gives her more money. Maybe she’s interested in their graduate programs. Maybe she’s likes a man/woman. Maybe she likes running for Alabama. NC is not a step up from Alabama. Between Piggly Wiggly and Food Lion you’re not impressing anyone.
I bet you’re that guy that asks women in their 30’s why they don’t have kids.

Amaris already raced in December so if she transfers she won't be eligible to race indoors. But she probably has COVID eligibility for indoor seasons that were lost.
Florida would guarantee her an NCAA outdoor team title but they might not have any money available until the fall. They already brought in a really good group of graduate transfers.

is it actually confirmed that she is in the portal? If so and she follows her coach to Florida, her and Valby would be an incredible 1-2 punch, second only to Tuohy/Chmiel and rivaling Olemomoi/Asekol & Cook/Roe. Also might rise the level of Valby to finally have someone that can do workouts with her, and Tyynismaa could aid her in speed development.

She will stay out once she finds out who is coming in as the new Bama Coach - it’s going to be a proven, next-level coach. Stay tuned.

Well semi you now have your yearly almost grad transfer.

Nice work by the OP here.

NC State has non money huh? Per a self-professed “nc state insider”
Lots of interesting prognostications in this thread.
It also confirms that there are several posters (Valby fanatics?) falsely pretending to be NC State fans and “insiders” - for the purpose of bashing and attacking NC State.
