Webb? Wheating has proven to be the opposite of Webb. Wheating has sought out pressure, taken it on and overcome it with grace, all with his current coach.
I don't know what you have against his current situation but something is blinding you here. It IS WORKING, arguably better than anyone elses situation other than Rupps. Wheatings consistency and progression are in line with Rupps. Both absolutely amazing and better than any other runners in the U.S. including anyone else in either Portland group. Rupp left Eugene for Portland to be near the very coach that got him everything he accomplished, but you are saying that Wheating should do the exact opposite and leave the coach that got him to everything he has done? Does that really make any sense?
Fleet, Centro, Acosta and Wheating are 4 of the top milers in the country and one of them is a college freshman. Add in a freshman who runs 1:46 for 800 and that is a damn impressive group. Centro was 5th at USAs in the 1500 and Acosta missed it by a hair only to have 3 strong 1500/mile races since then. You want him to leave a town of 5 or 6 3:36 or better 1500 guys and 3 or 4 1:46 or faster 800 guys to go to a town with 2 (one being Wheating)???
There is no doubt that Portland is 1st class and is working especially for long distance guys, but that by no means it works for everyone and especially 800/1500 guys. I mean, really, Wheatings results speak for themselves. He's beating some of the best milers in the world, just placed 4th in the fastest 1500 race in 4 years and you think he should go train with guys who can't break 3:35 (currently) for 1500 and won't even be doing 800/1500 workouts?
