What a classy way to step away from the sport. I wish more athletes could handle stepping away in a fashion that is thankful with no hidden bitterness. A thankful man.

Just read his statement. No drama. Just true appreciation for his sponsor and coach. Refreshing.
I believe that it is because he is a man. -
He does show class and it's a shame we have to lose athletes like him.
But then, I always liked the athletes who just keep at it- Gaston Roelants was a childhood hero of mine and, as I recall, he just kept racing and it didn't seem to me to be a "hang up your spikes" situation but an- I love the sport and if come finish further back, so be it. -
Huling went to Miami of Ohio when Gary recruited him? Did he compete at Ohio Staye or just pro with Gary?
-
Best wishes, Dan! You are a truly class act and I appreciate all of the motivation and advice that you provided the kids on the BTC youth program over the years.
-
While I would personally enjoy seeing the professionals keep at it long into their masters years, I fully understand them wanting to do something different for a change. Good luck to Dan.

Huling was developed at Miami University by Coach Mandrell, and then after graduation went to work with Robert Gary. He had a very good career at Miami University. It would have been nice of Huling to recognize a coach that worked his butt off for him.

Dan's folks live around here.
It was my hope he was taking a down year and would come back next year to prepare for the 2012 Trials. He worked out on our track last summer and is welcome back anytime. I hope he'll look us up when he next visits his folks.
Best to you and your family Dan. Your career was been done the right way! -
Only i there was no guy named Evan

He did say coaches, high school through pro - obviously includes college. Just didn't single out Mandrell.
Also: Warren didn't work his butt off for anyone. -
What is he going to do next?

+1. Plenty of state champions went there never to be heard from again. -
Perfect encapsulation of letsrun.com.
1) Something positive (in this case, a well-liked pro retires with class and good humor)
2) blah blah blah
3) Somebody sucks -

Letsrun is just a microcosm of the ever eroding world. -
are Dan Huling and Tim Broe the same person? Look alike and very similar PRs
-
Happy retirement, Dan!

are you posting for him or trying to take a potshot at someone else or just always need to add some drama to anything you say? -
