This year, Reed Brown (6th at NXN 2016 and sub 4 HS miler) was a distant #7 on his team at the NCAA D1 West Regional. At NCAA Champs, he did not run with Oregon.

Anyone seen Tyrese?

Disappeared means somebody was good in HS but is not runni g in college. He hmran 3:38 this year. If anything, he would be in the category of runners who made steady improvement.

Tuohy and others need to study recent history. Girls like Jenks were sure money for coaches when recruiting. She was racing every national meet possible when she was 15-16 years old. She got her big scholarship to a decent school and then started to show some weight gain during her senior year. It is sad that she is not running and probably also lost her scholarship.
The fact that Jenks was running all of those national meets was a red flag. She had to have been all-in for training and focus to have skipped local and state level competition. She made national meets her season and ran at that level exclusively for several years.

Injuries slowed me down but still ran some descent times
Just felt the need to defend myself!!
You didnt run any of those times in college.
There are just too many to count. HS phenoms both boys and girls get to college and flame out. I like watching the ones that were good in HS but not great. Went to college and then really took off. You know, the kind that couldn't qualify for Footlocker Nationals but four years later are cleaning up on all of them kids.
My college teammate won Penn Relays mile in high school. Went D1 on full scholarship, got booted for some behavioral issues and transferred to my D3 school.
By the end of our college careers, he was finishing around 20th at D3 cross country nats (after finishing a disappointing 4th his first year in D3) and didn’t bother running track (he only ran cross because he loved the other distance guys).
There are no full scholarships regardless of what he said.

Funny how there are references of how stamps success was connected to her “lithe” frame. I didn’t see anything in the article about the girls burnout associated with fat shaming coaches

I have seen good HS runners like Philip Rocha disappear but anyone else that was remarkable that just disappeared once he/she reached the college level?
Best high-school runners that disappeared in college?
His HS teammate Estevan De La Rosa hasn’t done a whole lot since HS
