Dani Jones joins team Bosshard - thoughts?

I think she would have been a great fit to Bowerman, but it’s no surprise to see her stay in Colorado.

Thought she and Jenny Simpson were pretty good friends, so I'm a bit shocked that Dani went with the Boss group, not that it's a bad decision.

very cool for her.

Why doesn't NB give contracts to american males? The only athlete they have is Boris Berian. It Seems rather strange.

New Balance is throwing some big money at a Marathon group at the end of this year. Both Men and Women. They had very limited presence at the Oly Trials this year. Things will be different in 2024.

So Syd McL is New Balance right? Where is she?? Taking selfies or training

The two of them are friends. How do you know that training with Jenny was an option?

Interesting. They put a lot of money, time and effort into HS NB Nationals. You would think they would capitalize on this and get the younger HS boys to be New Balance fans. Dumping money into another marathon group wont do that.

This is not happening

Are they not allowed to wear NB’s during the virus. I’m seeing some Adi’s and some Nike’s.

I know what your talking about. Tom hated the way things played out in Atlanta. New Balance has poured a lot of money into NYC. The problem is that there is no marathon group that is going to leave their current situation. If NB wants a marathon group they need to start their own from scratch.

Where did anyone see she signed with NB? It doesn't say that in her Insta post and she is wearing Nike in that group picture.

Great place to run. Ran a half marathon on that trail once. Too bad I live over an hour away or I would run there more often.

Is there a video of them singing? What song did they do?

not a shoe specific group. I believe praught leer is under armour and dom scott is adidas. Not sure about the others.

I don't know. Just guessed that Dani would stay with Wetmore and join Jenny as a pro.

Maybe, Simpson might wanna retire soon? I could easily have seen 2020 or maybe 21 (world champs in Eugene) being her last season. She’s been kicking assess since 01? I imagine the athletes in the group Jones joined will be racing professionally longer, and now she doesn’t have to look for a new situation in a year or two.

Wetmore refused to coach Jenny for awhile. Seems hard to imagine he would do the same with Jones, but who knows. Maybe he wants to focus on the college kids.

idk, it's been like that as long as i can remember. they sponsor a handful of British men and then a bunch of American women. No one else.

I can't even imagine the lawsuits if it was the other way around. Always thought it was bizarre.

That is . . .not social distancing hah
