Sorry OAC, the Bowerman Babes Still #1

their army is shrinking and if you didn't notice they have shot 25% today. Frerichs out, schweizer out, teare out, cranny in. We'll see about fisher but BTC is not the best group in NA, they are lower performing than OAC (100% success today) monson in, yared in, hurta in, we will see about klecker.

Frerichs made it through to the final, but I agree with your sentiment

Shoot didn’t realize she got through. Also I did sell bowerman a bit short. Hamilton into final and mcgorty/ fisher 3,4. Just weird they are not as dominant as they once were. Honestly boils down to 1. Shelby 2. Moving to eugene

Yes they are being watched now, especially after their attack on WA+AIU+WADA. To catch Fisher or esp. Frerichs would be sweet redemption.

Bowerman TC also deserves at least half-credit for Kincaid. He would not be the runner he is today without them.

Monson's close is a complete liability for her. She can grind like no one else but she might have to start going even harder mid-race if she's going to win. In a 32 minute race, she'll never win

If the OAC never took the lead until one or two to go they would probably have more wins top.

Bowerman always peaks at the right time. Look bad all season, then boom. Like clockwork.

Every comment you see on any thread that bashes or sheds any negative light on OAC and its crew gets dozens of downvotes and the obvious defensive comments to counteract it....I know for a fact that they and their little team assistants scope the threads and try to negate any back lash. The most insecure team I have ever seen. And BTW the mint green tops are gross.

I have zero affiliation with OAC and downvote the needless bashing and baseless accusations that come from the same 2-3 posters.

But keep being you I guess.

But it’s ok for BTC to be bashed?

Where? If it’s burrito jokes, then that’s not baseless. If for other reasons, I’d downvote those as well.

Please show me one of the "Bowerman babes" who is actually a babe. Just one!

Fixed!

they may all play for the Bengals. but I'd say all solid 7's

The crew of "babes" are gone - at its peak it was Colleen, Shelby, Infeld, a non working Fraser. That old girl gang we are hot and better than everyone else culture seems like it's gone now. Now they just seems like a normal training group with talent

What team was Shelby on again?

The doping conviction, mysterious press-avoiding USA-based coach, and highly suspicious other athletes is the basis of the "trashing".

Seems incredibly reasonable.

NOP was trashed even more than them with less doping convictions.

Looking forward to no longer hearing about the "Bowerman Babes". For a group talked about as much as them, you would think there would have been a little more to show for it on the track over the years. Lots of praise just to get blasted by international competition almost regularly. Past years you would hear a whole lot more about them than the ones who were actually, ya know, winning medals and whatnot.
