Love ya Mort, but no one is saying they should be forced to discontinue their track career. All that was being conversed, was when I said people find out it's nearly impossible, you said we have had numerous athletes do both. And we have failed to come up with one that did both sports longer than a year at Nebraska during this century. When I asked "who" I was basically given a list of failed attempts to do both sports in college at Nebraska...
There is always that one or two people that did it like Jameis Winston, who was such a freak that Nick Saban camped out at his high school to recruit him, something he had never done before and hasn't done since. Russell Wilson was forced to choose and then transferred because of it. Robert Griffin, an Olympic hopeful, only did one year of track at Baylor. Robert Griffin is a massive endorsement of just how difficult and nearly impossible it is...
Again, all im saying is that college throwing and running is much more technical than high school. The added weights of the shot and disc make it so you have to perfect your craft to be relevant. They could split time and do it and and not place at track meets so they would just be doing it for fun. Or they find out if they concentrate on one sport, they will be better at it. Just like Robert Rands, Eric Crouch, Luke Pinkelman, Dusty Stamer, Isaiah Fluellen, Steve Octavien, Trevor Johnson, and many others all found out...
