Shocking Expose on Dartmouth XCTF Director And Mcnulty Lies!

Already deleted. Must have been flagged as a hit piece.

thanks for posting.

harnden, the director of t/f, seems way over her head and incapable of performing her duties in service of the student athletes.

shameful stuff. I hope she departs very soon and the college can rebuild.

She was the women's sprints/hurdle coach at Penn prior to her appointment at Dartmouth. It makes sense to me that her focus is on the sprinting group. The current success of Dartmouth has - funny enough - been mainly with the female sprinters (especially with all of their announcements of record book updates on social media).

It sucks how the distance guys have had a lot of coaching trauma these last few years, especially for those who were wrapping up their collegiate careers.

Porscha Dobson Harnden should take this article to heart and resign now. She will likely be gone by June anyway, and it is only going to get uglier from here.

Wow. I live in the area and always had very positive interactions with the coaches/team. We knew it was bad from other threads...but this... They should clean house and start over. I can't believe things were allowed to get this bad. The amount of incompetence is staggering. I'm guessing there are going to be some changes, and soon.

Ben True got robbed in the hiring process.

No, it will be there forever. McNulty will never McCoach again!

No, it will be there forever. McNulty will never McCoach again!

The frustration shouldn’t really be aimed at mcnulty. He was way under qualified and therefore underperformed. The real f*ck up and therefore direction of blame should be towards porscha for hiring him in the first place. ESPECIALLY because of her turning down better candidates to keep her power and getting rid of Ron shaiko

How can you remain "anonymous" on such a small team? Everyone on the team or previously on the team knows everyone that is talking in this article I'm sure.

How does this article help the program? I would wouldn't be too happy if I was associated with that program in anyway. No chance of recruiting anyone now.

Should everyone just stay silent about the issue then? And let porscha continue running the program into the ground?

So as someone with zero skin in the game, why *shouldn't* Dartmouth pivot to a sprint-heavy team? Why does tradition matter when a good sprinter can give you points across more events per athlete than a distance runner can, particularly in a conference where every other team is also distance-oriented?

No they should handle it internally. Making your college look bad for everyone to see doesn't help the program grow. This is a problem for their administration at this point.

These Dartmouth athletes and their parents are compete weenies and need to grow up and move on. How embarrassing for the athletes to have your parent involved.

To be fair it’s just one parent and I don’t even think his kid is on the team so I don’t really get it.

also in response to making Dartmouth a sprints heavy school, good luck with that! You can’t workout outside until April and even then it’s still miserable. Small school in rural New Hampshire with no scholarships—will that really attract sprints compared to the training environment and history for distance?

Clearly if you read the article, the problem is WITH the coaching staff and administration.

Can we not?

I read enough to know I would NEVER send a kid there. Yes the coaches are a problem. There is always someone higher to go to. Going public is just putting a death to the program. It's going to take many years before someone good wants to run for them.
