@Coachseanmccaff@HornAthletics That’s true and the people putting on the meets what numbers cause it pays the bills. Another issue is states like Alabama had their state meet in April. Hard for those athletes to run well in mid June
@palngji_sunday If a kid doesn’t pay for college. It’s a full. Just remember academic money, you have to keep up your grades. Athletic scholarship you need to keep running fast. NIL… good luck
Festival of Miles proves the my point again. If you want to have a successful track meet you need to focus on the high school athletes. They are the ones putting fans in the stands.
People complain about the popularity of track, but there are some hard truths we need to look at
1. Why is the sport more popular at the high school level than the pro level?
2. Why is a sport that is well participated at the high school level have so little pro fans?
@BarbaroActing I gave you data. We are a small group and get more likes, views and follows then every pro group that isn’t bowerman. When we post about our post collegiate/pro runners we get about half our normal likes and views.
