Where is Chloe Steinbeck of Oregon/Oregon State?

She most likely couldn't hack it at either program.

She went to Oregon State to be closer to her boy friend.

She's not on the track roster. Do you know whether she has given up running?

Hi, this is Chloe. I went to go search for something and came across this inquiry about myself so I just thought I would clear the air. When signing on with Oregon I was under the impression that my scholarship would increase at the end of my freshman year. Due to over offering the new incoming class of 2010 they could not increase my scholarship. As much as I would have liked to stay and run there I couldn't afford it and getting my education paid for was important to me. In comes Oregon State.. They had been interested in my in high school and at the time I decided to transfer I was between 8-9 seconds faster than their 800 girls they had so I was pretty confident they would be able to give me a more substantial scholarship. This was correct. I didn't go there to be with my boyfriend, we were not together when I transferred.

The reason I am no longer on the roster is due to a falling out with coach Kelly. He is a good guy wih good intentions but his program was not right for me. I had never been injured before and in my time there I had three femoral stress fractures within less than 1 year. My milage was too high and no adjustments were being made and as a competitive runner it was hard to feel I wasn't being trained correctly, especially running as many miles as I was doing with the background of a sprinter. This all caused a falling out with coach Kelly and I resulting in my leaving the team.

I do miss running very very much but am currently not competing just running on my own.

Since you are not on scholarship anymore, why not go back and give UO another shot. They know how to train half-milers and you'd more than likely stay healthy and do what you love best for the best team on the planet..

she can't afford it

Chloe, BYU is in need of female runners because of the new missionary age. As you know its very affordable even for non members to go to Provo. Call Ed Eyestone. There is an interview with him in today's Deseret News that you can reference. Wish you the best.

Chloe Steinbeck is update.

I find this hard to believe. Kelly has a low mileage program, compared to most college programs, and is probably one of the most compassionate college coach's in the business. If you're getting hurt off of low mileage, maybe it's because you're hauling @ss and need to slow down. Sounds like the problem is you, not the school.

Kudos for you for your answer. The best way to stop the (sometimes hateful and destructive) rumor mill is a clear, concise statement about what really happened. (and no blame, either, so good for you).

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, running and otherwise.

I'm not sure you have enough assumptions in your post.

Don't take everything from the horse's mouth at face value.

Doubt the real Chloe responded.

Don't have any idea who Chloe is but hurt or not if she needed the scholarship to pay for school then WTH? Sit on the bench. They can't take a scholarship if you are making an effort.

Do we know for sure that this choice dumps the funding completely and when that dumping begins. Sometimes injured scholarship athletes get covered for a while - possibly for the rest of their stay.
