Grant Fisher, American record holder in the 3k, 5k and 10k announced he was leaving the club 2 weeks ago.

Cooper Teare did the same a few days later.

As of this afternoon, Elise Cranny (American record indoor 5k) announced that she's leaving too.

Jerry Schumacher moving the team to Eugene to coach Oregon is going to be the undoing of the club. Or, more pessimistically, another big bust (a la Shelby Houlihan) is coming?

It was inevitable when Jerry took the Oregon job. Lots of the team were pretty open about not wanting to move from Portland to Eugene. They also couldn't do normal altitude camps with Jerry there in person on a regular basis because his priority was UofO. You can't coach olympic caliber runners as a side hustle.

Where are they going? After the season Nuguse had with On, I suspect that will be appealing.

He was truly world class this year.

Sums it up perfectly.

I would guess all have Nike contracts through at least the Olympics and Fisher and Cranny are definitely getting extended after.

Sounds like Fisher may go to the BYU group in Provo. Teere might go back to his old coach with Cole Hocker. Cranny, I don't know. Maybe back to Portland with the remnants of NOP or Team Boss in Boulder where she's from.

I bet Cranny goes to team Boss. Grant and Cooper, not sure. Maybe Mike Smith for Grant? I can see Cooper getting back with Cole Hocker's group like USC said
