Thanks coach.  Hey good thing she and Robinson will have two different coaches at Stanford :)
Appreciate the video and a shout out to former Stanford  star Olivia Baker with her first sub 2 minute 800

Nah, Ricardo is doing a GREAT job with the male distance runners. I'm sure Ky and coaches are not oblivious to Ky's hurdling shortcomings, but it's a lot of work to fix that maybe Ky doesn't want to do or just isn't natural enough at it. And there's an injury factor as the event beats you up.

I also think it's fairly universal that anyone (college or pro) who is equal-to-more competitive in the flat events will prefer them to the steeplechase. For example, Jenny Simpson abandoned the event when it became clear that she was Olympic class in the 1500...Evan Jager, Courtney Frerichs and Emma Coburn aren't as competitive in the flat events, etc. Ky is a mega talent and we'll see how far he can go in the 5000 and 10000 longer term. If it's not to the top ranks at the pro level, maybe he dedicates himself to the steeple as he clearly has some talent for it.
