I don't think it is very widely known but I wanted to know what was up with all the mid-distance athletes that quit at CU. They are all coached by assitant coach Jay Johnson. Since last year he has had about 8 athletes quit the program. Does Wetmore see this as a problem? It just seems unusally that one coach would have so many athletes quit. Why?
Who quit other than Burchill? Castro should because he sucks... He's going to look like his father, "humpty-dumpty", some day too.
hahahahha devote more time to academics.... at CU..... gimme a break
Ex-"athlete"!? Whatever, I'm not even going to fight this one...
You don't need to fight this. You already lost. Your lack of knowledge on why Casey Burchill left CU makes it obvious that you never ran there. You don't know Jay, you don't know the situation, you don't know shit.
Jay is one of the most sincere coaches I have ever come across, and it is distressing to see someone ragging on him like this. He is completely dedicated to making other dedicated athletes better and competitive at the highest levels. I am excited to see his athletes and his career develop.
I'm sorry you never made it at being a good athlete. I wish I had a heart so I could mean that!
Don't change the subject. This isn't about me. This is about people taking pot-shots at a good guy. This is about people blaming someone else for their own shortcomings.
When Jay Johnson gets an athlete that has talent and dedication in the same body (a combination that has yet to enter the CU MD fray) it's going to be nasty.
If CU academics is so bad where the hell did you go "um" ? You can't even form a complete sentence.
you aren't very good at statistics, are you?

Shouldn't that be "...are so bad..."? I normally don't do this sort of thing as I'm not a bitter/mean person, however, I don't think he was worried about his grammar at this particular junction. He was merely stating the common perception of CU: it's a high-altitude party school, and little else.

CU, a state school, has much in common with other state schools!!! Im going to go out on a limb here and say all state schools can be considered a \"party school\" just not all can be considered \"high-altitude\"... Regardless, what credentials do you have to ordain titles out to schools?
Jay is overall an excellent coach. He is still young and still learning a few things but I think in a few years he will be an excellent coach. He takes about 80% wetmore thought and mixes it up with a lot of fresh ideas. Jay still has some amazing runners under him. Jason Zicterman, Anothony Chiulli and Daniel Kenny who all show incredible potential.
Changing the subject a bit, but I still remember RWTB's stating the team's 22 mile run by Goucher and slightly lesser distances by the other guys.
I went to a good running school, but how many of you would've shit their pants if a coach handed that down to you, especially as a freshman/sophomore?
Yeah, but they also built up to that distance. Not every runner ran 2 hours or more. Look closely and only the top dogs did the 17-20 miles excursions. Freshman are freshman and Wetmore had his younger steeds go around 14-15 miles or whatever they could handle. 20 miles is easy if you've already been putting in weeks of 15 and 17 milers. It all depends on your personal training level.
