Paul Chelimo quits UNCG

I feel like I have come off a little harsh on Chad and UNCG. I want to say sorry and good luck. One quick question though,

Are you guys more worried about Greensboro college or Guilford college next year in the battle for the city. My money is on Guilford.

Our goals aren't focused on how everyone else is doing. If they so ran better than Uncg, Nobody would care.

Chelimo is on the team, he is running at UNC this weekend.

Flazt = Head Coach of UNC greensboro. My money is on Greensboro College

What is a "distance memory"? Is that anything like a distant memory. How poetic...

How the hell are ppl hanging this on an interim coach? Obviously it's a volatile situation where all the details aren't known...

i love how judgmental all you 20 min 5k runners are. you guys no nothing about Chad as a person, coach, athlete. or about Chelimo. So stop speculating and hiding behind a key board you cowards. Go out and do something good with your time and stop attacking people you have no right to judge.

Chelimo has been NCAA runner up in the outdoor 5k the past two years. You don't have to be a track historian to know his name.

Most folks don't remember those that lost.

So basically unc greensboro is a runners orphanage and their are no standards and you can run whatever at meets. I agree, You shouldn't be a division one program and your coach has to go. This isn't high school. I feel sorry for Chelimo.

Btw my younger sister goes to unc greensboro. She runs a 6 minute mile. I'm going to tell her to try out.

Pics?

Unfortunate for UNCG

Sorry, but the name Paul Chelimo is a distance memory? What did he do? Seriously.

Your joking right?

In 2012, the year Don Cabral was an Olympic steeple finalist, Chelimo made him look like a jv runner in the 1500 at Raleigh Relays. I was coaching at Cornell and Cornell was basically viewed as a near deity and to see him get spanked like that was eye opening.

Then Chelimo was 2nd at NCAAs in the 5k. He also was the WUG's silver medallist this summer.

What does beating Cabral in a late march 1500 race in 3:40 have to do with anything? Rupp once got dusted in an 800 by a nobody, how does pointing that out make that nobody, somebody? I'm not suggesting Chelimo, a 13:21 5k runner is a nobody, but your point is silly no?

some of you really have big mouths,someone can even spot your tongue from far....if you have no idea of whats going on just shut up and mind your business your comments cannot stop paul from being a champion
