It looks like Matt is in Colorado Springs at the Olympic training facility. Does it seem like a coincidence that most of the Bowman squad also happens to be there? He even tagged Marc Scott in a recent instagram story, like they could be living together during the camp. I definitely could be wrong, or overthinking it, but the switch to Bowerman seems possible
LRC Update on 1/9. The switch to Salazar for Centro has been confirmed.

Centro to Bowerman!?

Old news

Yep it's happening, Centro to B.T.C (Big Titty Club) but no seriously he is joining BTC
-
Saw him in Portland recently.
-
No more volunteering at UW then?
-
Where is Jager? Mo? Thompson?
-
might be doing XC and joining them later
-
Wow. Knowing the hatred that Salazar has for BTC, if true, this has to be the biggest betrayal in Nike history.
Salazar must be thinking, "Et tu Centro?"
-
Saw him in Iten recently, heard he’s joining NN and Patrick Sang’s crew.

Marc Scott isn't in Bowerman yet he's in the photo. Carry on boys. Doesn't mean much. Runners train with each other all the time.
If you're Centro and don't want to train by yourself you've only got a few options if you're a Nike athlete. -

Uhh... Yeah, he is? Also it's been known Centro->BTC for like 2 months. -

Huh? Marc has been with BTC for quite a few months now. Matt is also a new member of BTC.

If someone condescendingly says "old news" one more time I'm going to flip out. We are the most niche professional sport there is. Stop condescending people that don't stalk these runners' instagrams to figure out what's happening in our sport. I didn't see press releases about this so this is news to most fans.

He was also with the whole team watching the Bachelor the other night, per Quigley and others' insta stories.
Definitely seems strange that he'd announce this big move to Seattle/UW and then go to BTC, right? Since some of you all seem to be so in the know... did he know he was going to BTC when he signed on at UW? If not, that would suggest this hasn't actually been in the works very long...
Also raises the question of whether he sees a move to the 5k as imminent. BTC doesn't really have any pure 1500/mile guys, does it? -
Not that he couldn't remain a miler and benefit from BTC's training style. Now that I think about it, kind of like Jenny Simpson, he's capable of popping a decent 5k, but will probably always be a better miler.

Dude in foreground center has anguished look as though he's about to poop himself, dude to his immediate right has divined this and is expectantly waiting for the chaos, the two celestials flanking centro are what centro calls his retinue, in reality they are people shorter than he who he pays to follow him so that he can look taller than he is, dude in back with beanie and half tights showed up uninvited, nobody not even the celestials acknowledge him nor do they address his presence in hopes he might "take the hint". -

Lomong & Jager ran some pretty quick 15s/miles under Jerry. Centro has always trained more as a 5k guy. Strength = speed.
