What is happening at Stanford?

Dont forget Liam Anderson 2018 NXN winner. He's been there 4 years (3 and RS) and still hasn't done anything yet. Never made their top 7 cutoff for Nationals.

These students are attending Stanford because of their superior intellect and to receive a good education so they can graduate, get a good job and make a difference in the world. Running is not be their priority. Otherwise they would’ve gone to Oregon.

Probably because they wake up everyday to race those 10mile tempos….

Maybe JJ is getting involved. That is never a good sign.

Dy-No-Mite!

The Youngs (or any other athlete - Hicks, Robinson, etc) don't seem dumb but they wouldn't have been accepted normally, especially as white males.

I'm curious as to what their SAT/ACT scores are.

Breaking news: prestigious college who doesn’t have to put any effort into recruiting doesn’t actually have a good coach

The Stanford diploma is a big lure so to get accepted on an athletic scholarship is hard to pass up, but trust me many of these guys are definitely prioritizing running over academia…some with pro running aspirations.

I always wondered about this as well. They have dibs at the best high school talent in the country and their rosters on paper are formidable. How they don’t win nationals every year on both sides is beyond me.
Sad to see Cole Sprout struggling when at one point he was national champion material just like Hicks. I hope Leo and Lex don’t become part of the talent burial ground at Palo Alto. Devin Hart saw the writing on the wall and got out before it was too late. He ran great for Texas today!

he's pulling a wejo - going from a top college to a good college (ironically, both went to texas) for their 5th year

who cares about finishing 20th when they get to be in those L&L videos

Hart graduated from the farm and is in grad school at Tx, so he wasn't 'getting out'.

He scored today

Sure, but they can afford a good coach so why not hire one? How many top coaches wouldn't want the job at Stanford?

Hicks & Robinson the two non Americans had success. All the American kids have run like crap. They all peaked in high school.

Can't wait for the next L & L video🥺

My glorious tik toking king Devin Hart ran beautifully at Texas today. Clearly the Stanford degree gave him the brains to jump ship.

I remember a post from a year ago saying they were going to 3-peat. That prediction didn’t age well.

I was skeptical then, but I didn’t think they’d be this bad. Has any team ever done this poorly with this much talent?

The fact that they’re getting annihilated by schools like CBU despite such a massive resource and recruiting advantage is shocking.

Nice try, Einstein, but Hicks is American (dual passport holder) with American parents and the family moved back to Floriday from their stay in the UK when he was in middle school. He has done all his serious running, including high school, in the US.
