There were/are several HS runners that will be seniors that attended/are attending the Stanford Track/XC Camps to evaluate the Stanford coaches and their training philosophy. None of these seniors (one came to the track camp from Maine) were informed by anyone from Stanford that Lananna and Reilly would be leaving (Vin's anouncement coincidently came immediately after the track camp concluded).
On the day (7/29) that Gerard's hiring was announced by Stanford, the Stanford track office was called regarding the status of the XC Camp Directors. A guy named Greg stated that Coach Mike Reilly would be directing the camp like he had for many years, but that it was unlikely that new Coach Gerard would be present.
Why is it that Stanford is going through this whole game of deception and "timing" (look for the announcement that Reilly is leaving Stanford for Oberlin to come shortly after the XC Camp concludes.) This is to be expected out of Lananna Sr. and Lananna Jr. (they still want those camp proceeds) but I am shocked that AD Ted Leland would allow this to happen.
This may only involve 15-20 campers, but it is still 15-20 kids that have been deliberately deceived and screwed over.
