Awkward situation wrote:Any clue what happened at Mercer? Volunteer sprint coach takes over after a semester and old coach stays on but only as men's XC coach? Seems weird
http://mercerbears.com/news/2017/1/8/womens-track-and-field-jerod-wims-named-interim-womens-track-field-cross-country-head-coach.aspxReading that release from Mercer elicits some questions.
"Over the course of his college career Wims earned NCAA All-America honors four times, was a three-time USA Olympic Trial Qualifier, was a two-time Pan American Games Qualifier (2005, 2007)."
Just when did Wims ever qualify for the Olympic Trials, or the Pan Am Games? There were no Pan Ams in 2005, and no record of him having a Trials qualifying mark at any point.
What a terrible pile of BS on that profile. He's never even been close to the times to even make the NCAA championships or score in the SEC, much less Olympic Trials or Pan Am Games. Looks like he has a best of 10.41 and 21.24. Complete fraud!
