So, when Wetmore went to Michigan to sign Ritz or Illinois to sign the Torres brothers isn't that EXACTLY the same thing as somebody's "dad buying them a 1970 Camaro...?" He didn't "build it himself." He just signed the best of the best!
I have a ton of respect for Wetmore. I think he has really got things dialed in when it comes to coaching his teams to run at their best at the NCAA XC meet. However, I think he is a bit hypocritical in this interview. If he wants to build it himself then be like Lydiard and only sign local Colorado kids.
