Mike smith threw his stopwatch after Nico’s race

I thought this was going to be a Nico thread.

Mike smith is a terrible coach.

Damn Swoosh TC coaching a Adidas athlete

I saw that too. If you watch the video of the races from Washington right after the 3k the camera goes to Mike Smith and he throws his stop watch. What’s he pissed about ?

Someone on another thread was saying his guys maybe didn’t secure their 3K spot at NCAA’s in this race. Crazy fast running this year

Going out with a whimper.

maybe he wasn't pleased with how his guys closed that final lap. Sahlman hung in there but Malarkey and Bosley fell off the pace. this is Bosley's last hance to finally win an individual title, Smith may have realized he didn't secure a spot. or perhaps he was throwing the watch at a cockroach.

yeah as of rn, both of them are out of NCAA’s. Acer Iverson’s 7:41.02 is 16th this year

Imagine telling someone in 2020 that a 7:41 3k wouldn't get you to nationals in 2025. What an era we are in now.

And this a year after Bosley ran 7:43.98 and got edged out by Murphy and Langdon's 3000 times at the Big East Conference meet.

Honestly the race absolutely ruled. One of the best finishes you will see with tons of guys in it. Samuel with some brilliant tactics including the Centro getting skinny for the inside pass move. Portland kid ran awesome too.

Thanks for posting that. It would have been nice to pop over to the meet and see it live, but that was a pretty good video!

What a battle! There were 10 guys within a second or two with 300m to go. Amazing!

Hi Coach Cornfield, since you were there with Mike Smith I’m betting this is true

I don’t think Smith was mad about Nico Young. Didn’t Smith just announce he’s leaving NAU after track to coach a pro Nike team. I assume he’s not coaching Nico Young anymore.

Yeah he is leaving to coach a nike team. But his contract specifically states he is allowed to continue coaching former NAU runners. That seems like something you would want added specifically for a guy like Nico.

Kid? The guy turns 24 this year ffs, it seems like he's been in college forever.

Is MattHatter actually Cornfield? I have seen these posts a lot and I get so confused.

Yes Matthatter is Cornfield. He might want to register a new name
