She should transfer out of this dumpster fire. Best case scenario she is at a program that races her entirely too much and has no idea what they are doing. Worst case is this school is covering up something worse than we can imagine. The doping accusations and nick Johnson scandal is crazy at any level but naia is just crazy. The worse that should be happening at this level is the occasional age cheat from another country. In 5 years nobody will know about this program.

She had a chance to run for a well respected D1 program with an outstanding coach at Colorado. But she changed her mind to run for the dumpster fire. Something and someone keeping her there. Whatever could it be?
This. Program runs her like a high school senior who is the only kid on the team. I get staying close to home but other schools are practically right there. If she is going to even consider racing after college this is not the place for her.

Stockholm Syndrome from years of being emotionally and sexually abused?
The new coach is just as bad. Running one kid in that many races is crazy. Posting pictures of the team trophies in bed is childish. The school wouldn't even have been in the top 15 if it weren't for Wileys points. Not much to brag about being a one trip poney.
That is how track is scored. If you don't like the rules of the game, change them or find a different game. But don't complain about coaches who understand rules. Maybe Iowa women's basketball should have to forfeit tonight because they have Caitlyn Clark. Maybe a football team who wins a game because they have a superior kicker shouldn't celebrate their wins.

Ikr? But at least with the new coach, only the trophies are in the bed.

This is a poor comparison.
If a football team has a star running back and gives him 85 carries per game to win meaningless games against poor teams, how long do you think he will hold up? What are the odds he is still healthy and motivated 2-3 years from now?
A good coach has to think about long term for athletes, far beyond the po-dunk meet trophy each week. Where will the coach and athlete be several weeks from now? History shows that it will likely not be pretty.
Not sure why she would stick with an abuser that has doping allegations unless she is into him and actually doping.
She is an adult now, figure it out.
Probably who is providing PED for the program.
So much evidence pointing to this. It’s often been said that where there’s smoke there’s fire and in the case of this program it’s a full on “Forester” fire.

"You don't treat a race horse like a plow horse."
Where I grew up they also told us "You don't plow the race horse."
It’s going to be wild in a few years “if” she makes it to us champs/pro races when she finds herself the most despised person on the starting line by both her competitors and the fans. But she’ll likely be burned out by 4 years of over racing and then nobody will ever remember HU outside of the other local Indiana colleges just like two years ago
