Brooks drops money into Bizzari after she gets slammed at NCAA's by Koll.
Then Bizzari blows off USATF Outdoor to "get her head together".
Then a no show at Cross
Now it looks like she isn't entered in Indoor?
Does it really take a year to get your head together?
Nice pick up Brooks.
She should have run USA cross and made the world team... 7 and 8 will make the team if Mag or Blake and Kara pass which they probabaly will do
Yea it could take a year to bounce back after getting pummeled like she did by Koll. That was a flat out destruction of spirit. Koll took her soul she broke her off so hard. Yikes.
Allegedly has headed to Mammoth:

Will be interesting to see how she responds to altitude.
Are you people really that ignorant? Why would you even feel the need to start a thread just to denigrate another runner?
Hope Terrence does better with her. Hope he also brings some fruits to his other athletes.

Well, chief, if you're going to be petty, you might want to consider that: a) she is much faster (relatively speaking) than you ever were/will be; b) she is most likely smarter than you; c) she is most assuredly better looking than you (or your significant other). All in all, I'd say she's got you beat hands down. So stop peddling your nonsense.

Bizzari? I think it's on the Amalfi Coast.

Is she planning on going to the WC as a spectator> She has ZERO chance of qualifying.
To th original poster, she did not skip USAs outdoors last year. She came in fifth in the 5k behind Fleshman, Huddle, Barringer and Rhines. At that point in the season, she had been running on a partially torn plantar for 2 months so she took some time off to let it heal. She just finished school in December, as pointed out in an article in the Fall. A recent article indicates she just moved to Mammoth. Probably a good idea not to do Idoors or Cross until she gets a little more acclimated to the high altitude training. Nice to see your concern and thanks for the support of one of the country's most promising young talents.
She's f*cking Matt Damon!
she did run US outdoors and I think she even ran a PR there. There are a lot of good runners that haven't raced yet in 2011. Keep in mind Bizzarri was one of the rare athletes to run all three seasons for four straight years at Illinois. I bet she is just taking her first break in almost 5 years
It's "Bizzarri", she ran a SB for 5th at Nationals, she's 10x better looking than your ugly girlfriend (if you have one), and she should be in good shape outdoors.
Any worthwhile post-collegiate coach would point Bizzari towards the 2012 Olympic team.
I think the animosity towards Bizzari is based on two factors:
1) Her collegiate success proves high volume training is entirely unnecessary. She's been doing remarkably well running about as much time each week as Lagat needed to win world medals.
2) Nike could not buy her off. In other words, she was savvy enough to negotiate a better deal, considering all options. Nike really had nothing special to offer her. We can expect more attacks from the Nike 'public relations' team.
Though both Koll and Bizzari were well coached as collegiate athletes, Bizzari has notably more room for improvement. Her collegiate 5000m can become her 10000m pace running 60-70/week. Koll is more or less stuck trying for the marathon.
I'm disappointed that Bizzari would go to Mammoth, but hopefully she wont be overtrained there.
If she was really smart she would've just trained 25-30 miles a week, then her 16:40 5k would have even more room for improvement! Heck if she didn't train at all, she could PR by MINUTES after college!

You looked like a total moron with your stupid answer. 1. The original poster in no way said he was faster than her. 2. No way did he try to say she was stupid or less smart than him. 3. He also never said she wasn't better looking than any of his GF's.
In the future please stick to the topic and make a reasonable response.

I would hope Bizzarri would have more room for improvement. Maybe she can improve her 5000 PR 38 seconds and then she'll be as fast as Koll. And if she can take her collegiate 5000 and run that as 10000 pace, she'll be 12 seconds ahead of where Koll was in college.
Koll has room for improvement too. Just because her mileage is higher does not mean that she has little room to improve. There are TWO read: TWO ways to improve, volume and intensity. She has the volume down, now she will slowly up the intensity. What kind of nonsense thinking is that anyways? Why are you encouraging people to run low mileage just to have room for "improvement"...that kind of thinking led to the terrible decade of the 90s
Kids move to L.A. for the best chance to medal. Good choice, Angela !
