University of Michigan

What about Steve Elliot or Billy Donakowski? They must have been close to sub 4.

I was wondering if there was any way to get in touch with Warhurst? I am an incoming freshman at the University, and my times in high school arent enough to get me on the team, and I heard there was a time trial and it would be great if i could run that, as I would at least like a chance to be on the team. Ive been calling Warhurst, but he has not picked up or called me back, as well as emailing him. Any information would be great. Thanks

young man, if you are going to be entering the university of michigan, i presume you have some common sense. you just lack initiative. i might suggest two very obvious avenues that you persue:1) go to umich.edu and look for ron's email or phone number via the university directory2) call the michigan athletic department (here's the number for UofM's main info # and they can direct you: 1-734 764-1817).good luck...but grab the bull by the horns and don't expect everything in life to fall in your lap.

Old man, did you not read his post at all? He said he's been calling Ron.

If you live within driving distance, get to campus in the middle of the day and stop by his office, the track, or the indoor track building. You might want to call the athletic department in the morning to make sure he is in that day. After you've talked with him, go for a run and enjoy Ann Arbor.

I would assume he's in Helsinki, but have no idea whether that's true. If you wait until the WC's are over, you might even get to do that training run with the guys that are there over the summer.

Not even downhill with a tailwind.

He could have succeeded at Michigan just as all of the other great high school milers have, but he was impatient. Similar to his race tactics.

You'd be impatient too if you were the top college miler before ever setting foot on a college campus and could not come close to that once you got there. Webb is not the only casualty to Warhurst's program. His freshman class in 2000 (year before Webb) was excellent (3 milers at 4:10 or faster, 2-3 more under 4:18, several low 1:50 800s and sub 9:20 2 miles) and none of them ever got better under him.

It took Webb over a year to undo what Michigan did to him. Everyone thought he was washed out and now look who is in the world championship finals with a very decent shot at a medal.

Hey. A campus is a place in which you can learn a lot. On the campus, there are many interesting things. A student is a person which learns more. The university is training, but the campus is a school of life. If you have problems with writing papers then contact papersowl.com the service which is doing research papers. Thank you very much for your attention and I wish you good luck on the campus.

Ron has not been the coach for basically 10 years. If you want attention and individualized coaching, go to a smaller school and be a bigger fish in a smaller pond. You will be expected to keep up with the top runners IF you even get a spot

Other than the last post all of this thread was from 2005.
