Ritzenhein volunteer assistant coach for University of Oregon. A traitor to the Buffaloes.

So he's been the one writing all the troll posts as "A Duck"?
Ritz has crossed-over to the gray-zone.
Obviously building a resume for future interest in coaching. Question is is he still w salazar/portland?
Wetmore has Jenny and Emma Coburn as volunteer assts. Maybe Ritz just isn't hot enough.
Ritz is fragile.

Is your IQ below 90? --You don't even know the definition of the word "troll" as it regards the interwebs.
Was that a requirement to get some attention from AlSal, and also to be provided with the Rupp/Farah "good stuff"?
Easy way to get free travel to races.
Resume builder for when he retires...

And it appears that he was wearing Adidas shoes that day, not Nike

I'm willing to wager Ritz would be a great coach. His experience running against/training with the best in the world and learning how to deal with injury mentally/physically are quality experiences for a coach.
Is that jenkins in the grey shirt?

Yes, he is still with AlSal. I'd venture to say Ritz travels down to Eugene once or twice a week to help coach. It's a good foot in the door, especially since the local Portland colleges already have a few volunteer assistants each. Good for Ritz.
Working in this capacity is not only beneficial/inspirational for the Duck team, but it can have the same affect on Ritz. I'm sure he's been bummed out a lot over the past couple years with injuries that have taken him out of some key races/targets. Seeing young guys full of energy, drive and passion can remind you what it's all about.
Good for him.

I agree with that. Ritz is also a smart guy, knows the sport, and would probably make a good coach for distance runners.
I wonder about the distance between Portland and Eugene however. Is he doing full time training or cutting back while he gets over his latest injury?
I see some parallels between Ritz and AlSal actually.
Both known for incredibly tough training as youngsters, both with a reputation for toughness, both learning the lesson over the years that smarter is usually better than more (but you need both).
Anyone think Ritz could follow the same general model?
PLEASE tell me how Oregon can have yet ANOTHER coach per NCAA rules:

Boycott Nike, 2014 Prefontaine classic, runnerspacing.com, Hayward field, 2014 NCAA Champs, UO, and Ritzenheim.

Except that Ritz is a nice guy.
