RIGHT! FSU is going to have a stable of studddddssss
Karen Harvey is better than Metcalf
It makes sense she would show up at FSU, since Karen can't get any American kids out of HS and the ones they are getting vanish after a year i.e Kacey Gibson. Whatever happened to Danso-Dapah the Canadian girl from two years ago that was supposed to be great?
Recruiting from other campuses and from English Universities seems to to be the rout they are taking.
FSU will be good with a Transfer from NAU, a transfer from Washington and a transfer from England.
American kids aren't tough enough.

Amanda Winslow is doing ok at FSU.
Just a far-off guess: could Schaaf end up at Hawai'i? Canadian coach in Carmyn James, low pressure, low expectations? Just wondering...
Christine Babcock could be next to transfer out of Washington. No-show since X-C. Stories of "issues."
More like foot issues thing...you wouldn't understand.
More than just physical issues. You wouldn't know. Just remember, when she leaves UW, who told you first.
meh... you don't know what you're talking about. I love idiots like you on here gossiping about what you think is true. UW cross isn't on a low, undefeated until nationals, and got 3rd on a bad day of running. Metcalf is obviously doing something right. You don't sweep Pac 10's on accident. And you can't coach someone who doesn't want to listen to anyone but her Club coach. Maybe she should gain 10 pounds and then wouldn't be injured all the time. Just sayin.

Gersten knows more about the sport than Metcalf will ever know anyway. It doesn't really matter anyway, BUT, she does need to gain some weight. Whose fault is that? EVERYONE's - hers, Metcalf's and Gersten's. She needs to get out of there (Wash) and get some help. At least to find someone to get through to her, even if it is back to Saskatchewan.
Sorry to hear that the Huskies distance program is going through a bit of a turmoil right now. They were a very good program for a couple of years and for awhile they seemed to be untouchable. Now the rumors are flying and I have to say it has to hurt coaches, athletes and fans. On boards like LetsRun, there is absolutely no way to know who is posting the truth and who isn't. I wished that one of the people involved directly would post the facts - good or bad. I remember the Oregon athlete Blood posting under her name awhile back and sharing the truth about rumors that were going on about the Ducks. That shut up a lot of the speculators. Huskies, please, someone "tell it like it is".
From Merca's blog.

For the past couple of weeks, University of Washington sophomore Kendra Schaaf, who was the NCAA cross country runner-up in the 2009 championships behind Illinois' Angela Bizzari, was the subject of numerous rumors, after she only ran in two indoor meets this winter, and didn't run in any outdoor meets for the Huskies.
In a short email exchange with paulmerca.blogspot.com, Schaaf's Canadian club coach, Steve Gersten of the Queen City Striders Track Club, confirmed that Schaaf, the 2009 Canadian senior national cross country champion, is indeed leaving the University of Washington.
Where Schaaf ultimately ends up remains a source of speculation, as the message boards on letsrun.com have her going to either North Carolina, West Virginia or Florida State (disclaimer--take it with the proverbial grain of salt; this site will not speculate, preferring to wait until official word comes out).
Assuming Schaaf ends up at another NCAA Division I school, she would have at most two seasons of eligibility in cross country, and three seasons in both indoor and outdoor track.
And Letsrun picks up yet another scoop!!
Metcalf counters the report:

METCALF SAYS SCHAAF STAYING PUT
Despite a report on a blog published by longtime track writer Paul Merca that UW star cross-country runner Kendra Schaaf will transfer from the school, head coach Greg Metcalf said yesterday that Schaaf plans to stay put.
“I’ve sat down with Kendra, and as of right now, she’s staying,” Metcalf said. “We’ve had conversations, and she’s talked about wanting to leave, but that’s it.”
That conflicts with the report from Merca’s blog, which cites Schaaf’s Canadian club coach, Steve Gersten, as telling the site that Schaaf is indeed leaving UW.
Merca reports that Schaaf, a sophomore, had been rumored to be transferring after competing in just two indoor events and no outdoor events for the Huskies this year. She finished second in the 2009 National Championships.
But as far as Metcalf is concerned, she’s still a Husky.
“I don’t really know why she would want to leave, and as of now, she’s staying,” Metcalf said.
The plot thickens!!!!
