Addy Wiley upcoming races

Thank you for posting this. She is in her way to another global championship.

She’s so pretty. Lol.

How did she do in Budapest last year?

Hopefully she’ll do well. She’ll be facing top competition so it’s definitely great experience for the upcoming trials and beyond.

That said, who is currently coaching her? I want a real answer from someone that knows. I’m not trying to turn this thread into one with a bunch of innuendo and accusations.

How do you know she’s running the Adizero event? I can’t find entry lists. They DID say Hobbs Kessler will be there, etc.

Lauren is coaching her and this was announced when she turned pro.

Instagram:

"Season opener this weekend, then a very fun trip to Germany for Adidas Road to Records"

This is old news. Her coach is Lauren Johnson. She also confirmed to Gault she has been coached by her continuously at Huntington.

DyeStat.com - News - Addy Wiley Signs Professional Contract With adidas

Wiley, only collegiate athlete and one of two American women to run sub-1:58 in 800 and sub-4:00 in 1,500, decides to forgo remaining eligibility at NAIA Huntington University in Indiana and pursue professional opportunities...

Agent Paul Doyle said he will represent Wiley and that the runner would be coached by former Huntington University coach Lauren Johnson.

Completely false. She is coached by her now, not while she was at Huntington. I'm sure she offered advise but was not her coach.

Nope. Pretty sure there was an interview where Wiley confirmed it to Gault. I will see if I can find it. It doesn't matter anyways, does it?

You haven't been paying attention. Lauren Johnson was the actual real official Huntington University coach for a while. So of course Wiley was coached officially by Lauren Johnson at Huntington. How are you not aware of that?

Then Lauren Johnson got fired but still coached Wiley, which Wiley lied about for a while but finally admitted. When Wiley went pro, Wiley said that she would continue to be coached by Lauren Johnson. Those other Huntington University coaches were Wiley's coaches in name only.

It matters to butt hurt Tuohy fan bois who can't handle the truth.

What does it matter at this point anyway? It seems like she got what she wanted (a shoe deal and back to being coached by Lauren). No need to cover anything up anymore. Look forward, not behind.

It matters when one of the top distance runners in america is being coached by known (or at least highly suspected) dopers/sex offenders

...butt, looking at the behind does have some merits.

WOW!! A SHOCKER 😲

Tuohy's name, previously unmentioned, brought up by Wiley fans in a thread about Wiley!

That's never happened before 🙄

That is true. We heard for years that Tuohy was a generational talent and that she only trailed her elders but now Wiley and Valby have left her in the dust. So of course her name will come up as a comparison. If Tuohy is a generational talent, Wiley is a once in a lifetime talent. It is a complement to her that her name come up.

Professional athletes get to choose their coach. Wiley chose Johnson. Wiley doesn't need your approval on who coaches her.

(Prediction - This post will get downvotes from people who actually think they should have a say in who a professional athlete chooses as their coach.)
