Big changes at Mammoth Track Club according to Deena

So what does this mean for Mahon, Bauhs, Unceny, Pierce, etc.? Not clear to me from these comments.

Looks like Terrance and the mid distance groups is staying in San Diego. Did Terrance get fired by Deena and Andrew?

Power struggle at its best , career ended now what am I going to do deal.

Ok , nice that you have a new track , no experience coaching elite class athletes , you have some fee paying hobby joggers.

Lets see how it all works and keeps Deena/Andrew employed.

Who knows what's really going on? Their old model may just not work financially any more. With the group shrinking they don't have the number of athletes they had, and most of the individual athletes remaining are probably not bringing in the income they did in the past.

The Hansons model has stood the test of time, but it seems like others are always forced to reinvent themselves. Reminds me of how McMillan Elite combined with Team USA Arizona in an attempt to gain more funding. Now Lemoncello is the only member of Team USA Arizona that is not part of McMillan Elite and he isn't American.

--pretty strange

How do Bob Larsen and Meb fit into this?

Meb is retiring at the end of next year. This is a money making venture for Deena and Andrew. Evey elite runner is concerned with what they will do to pay the bills after leaving the sport. HERE IS THE ANSWER for Deena.

The Southland earned 18 Olympic medals at London 2012. ZERO of those 18 were won by MTC. In recent years UCLA and Stanford T&F have cleaned house. No doubt the consequences have climbed up the Sierras and arrived at Mammoth Lakes. Such are the trials of life.

source on this? Meb seems to be far from retirement. I expect to see him in Rio.

Meb is not retiring next year. He is a very bright guy who still loves running. As long as he can continue to race at an elite level and pull in big paydays and endorsements, he will continue, which could be through Rio. Larsen would have retired from coaching by now if Meb wasn't still competing. Larsen will continue with Meb as long as Meb still wants to race.

Skechers signed Tomas Lasorda who is on Skechers TV commercials. A major indication that Skechers is here to stay.

Is Deena going to teach her energy consuming arm thrusts to anyone foolish enough to listen to her.

Ugh. Did she really say that?

"once I stop giving to the sport and inspiring people with great performances..."

Damn, you beat me to it!Really, WTF kind of comment is that? [Deena's, not the previous poster].I must admit I was truly inspired by Deena's great NCAA 10,000m run at Knoxville in 1995.

The only source for that is an unsubstantiated thread on letsrun. I'm not seeing it's not true, just that we don't really know that yet.

I heard it directly from Terrence. I understand that you may need further confirmation, but I don't.

I didn't hear it from Terrence but generally these rumors turn out to be true.

When was the last time she gave a great performance?Her ego needs a reality check
