Something very shady is going on in that program, they must have a VERY VERY good incentive package.

IIRC, they both graduated from harvard but both have 5th year eligibility. Ivy league schools don't allow 5th year eligibility.
this happened with will geohegan going to oregon after dartmouth, and kyle merber going to texas after columbia
They both graduated from Harvard with eligibility. Since Ivy League schools do not allow graduate students to compete, so they decided to use their eligibility at a school with a great chance to win a national title. The Lobos are stacked.
2 Harvard men transferred to New Mexico too. Interesting ...

Ummmmm, ever heard of Peter Callahan?
I guess it is not anything shady after all. Maybe they just liked ABQ...
The real shocker of the transfers is Courtney Frerichs.
She's looking for continuity and familiarity. Makes sense.
I ran for an ivy for four years but I had an injury so I missed two seasons one year. Then for my fifth year I couldn't stick around so I went for a masters at another school and ran those last two seasons of eligibility. It always bothered me how the Ncaa and the new school's press department and even my new coaches always called me a transfer, when in my mind a transfer did not graduate from their original school. It would be make more sense to distinguish between transfers and graduates in these press briefings. That is all.
The real shocker is waverly neer has another year at oregon. I thought she was a 5th yr transfer there last year but this is her fifth year since graduating HS.
So did she give up a columbia degree for oregon? or did she graduate from columbia in 3 years?
She graduated in 3 years. Took summers.
Courtney's coach took a position there, so she followed him there. Given the continued progress that she's made during the years of working with him in both xc and the steeple, seems to be a wise choice for her.

Thank you, I was wondering why she would change schools, when she has been improving by leaps and bounds the last couple of years.

Jessica Pixler Tebo transferred from Seattle Pacific to Colorado for her 5th year. Some girls from a baby nationals program want to experience the real McCoy.
I am joking............somewhat.
Well, I think we can all agree and support the Lobo approach of only bringing in imports and graduate transfers. Life is too short to develop domestic teenagers.

And Oregon got a transfer sprinter from Harvard as well. http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=210350363
Odd enough to all of this is why does it seem to matter the most where your last credit comes from (and thus where you "graduate" from)?
It doesn't take much to then presume that every credit prior to transfer was worth as much as any credit received at one's domestic university.
The devaluing of the american degree continues. In part, thank the DOEdu; when everyone has something, no one has anything.
To all those "hope and change" folks: 65% of your college debt is due to dis-discrimination of credit. (of your 30k debt, $19.5k was thanks to government dis-equilibrium policies).

Sorry if you can't start a business with a $500 monthly payment... get to work somewhere else while you burn off your entrepreneurial drive...
Rampant liberalism and its undiscriminating, uncritical belief system is gutting the american middle class and destroy the next generation's business idea while burying them in debt.
I went to college and accrued zero in student loan debt. That was with nobody's help but my own--full-time job every summer/20 hours a week during school year since I was 14, great grades, good athletic credentials, full scholarship, work-study job, graduated in 3 years w/AP and summer credits. Ended up landing a great job right out of school and now make $180k a year at 27 years old. Still a libtard, though. About to enjoy a 5am run before my girlfriend and I get out the door early for our long weekend at Cape--probably the last time we'll go this year.
New Mexico = the Harvard of the southwest.
I owned a t-shirt that said: "Harvard, the Duke of the North"
