2019 Swoosh Diary: Peter Julian will continue to coach his athletes, no name for new club

In a copyrighted article by Ken Goe in the Oregonian, https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2019/10/nike-oregon-project-athletes-working-with-coach-pete-julian-will-stay-together.html, Mr. Goe noted that while Nike Oregon Project is no more, the seven athletes under the coaching of Peter Julian will remain with Julian. At this time the new club that Julian coaches does not have a name.

Peter Julian has been a long time assistant coach at NOP, and over the past several years, had developed a group of seven athletes, who he worked with on a daily basis. These athletes include, Konstanze Klausterhalfen, WC bronze at 5000m, Donavan Brazier, gold medalist, 800m, WC, Craig Engels, 1,500m US Champ, Eric Jenkins, Suguru Osaka, Jessica Hull and Shannon Rowbury.

Nike has stated that they will help the NOP athletes under banned coach Alberto Salazar find new coaching situations. NOP athletes affected by the ban are Galen Rupp, Sifan Hassan, WC double gold, 10,000m/1,500m, Clayton Murphy, Olympic bronze 800m, Jordan Hasay and WC silver, 10,000m, Yomif Kejelcha.

RunBlogRun is happy to see Peter Julian keeping his athletes and that Nike will help relocate the NOP athletes.
