Bobby Curtis is Retiring with NCAA 5000m Title, 27:22 10k PR, 2:11:20 Marathon PR

Bobby Curtis destroyed all of those so called elite west and east coast recruits.

Thanks!!

thank you, bobby, for your role in the "track in the fast lane" videos, which i wish i had somehow saved when i stumbled across them way back in the day.

Bobby must really dislike Hanson's.

Didn't mention them once in the interview. He easily could have said Hanson's teammate Mo Hrezi, but went out of his way not to mention that.

Fake News. @hansonsrun tweeted multiple times in support of Bobby at worlds, and I think I saw Kevin on course during the race.

Nice to see some real class on the board here. All the best to BC and congratulations on a career all but one of us on this thread would likely have killed for.

Dislikes the Hanson's????? What??????? Analyzing and comprehension are not your strong areas.

As a Reebok athlete he never got the opportunity to train with those Nike groups. I think he would've fit in well with the Teg, Solinsky group and run faster/more consistently.

I dont think there was a place for Bobby plus a la Lockhart Solinsky was generally annoyed by people named Bobby and I think he wouldve brought tension based on name alone. BAC had Teg, Solinsky, Bairu, Nelson and Jager - major Wisconsin conenctions. Brought in Fernandez, Ahmed, Bumbalough, Hill and some others. Those guys all fit. Put Pascal Dobert on staff. Curtis would not have lasted here.

Also I think Curtis was on drugs, sorry Craig. Nice post though.

Bobby may be the last dude I would ever suspect would be on drugs.

What a classy and considerate post from Craig Virgin.

Who?

Bobby ran the first sub 4 mile I ever saw, at Swarthmore's Last Chance meet in 2007 (leadning a teammate across the line under 4 as well). It was pretty special. Best of luck in your future endeavors Bobby!

Well, I've talked to your parents and even they said that you don't "think" very well.

Trialswatcher -

I think you owe me $1000.

Good career, seems like a good guy. I rooted for him. Now we have another investment banker. Not much to root for there.

Where is King99 on this thread?

This is the second coolest thing to happen to Bobby in his running career.

This guy has been tough as nails his whole career, HS in KY, Villanova, and some great runs as a pre Olympian and professional ! I have enjoyed watching him perform all these years , hope to catch you in the speaking tours some day! Good luck in your future endeavors!
