So this story is being (slightly) misreported. Robby Andrews is taking a semester off from UVA but he has not officially left school for good. He's made no decisions yet about his future beyond this year.

I think that means: he stays with what has been working and keeps training with Vig. He may have planned to redshirt this semester anyway in preparation for the Olympic Trials/Games, so perhaps this isn't really an interruption of the plan. And then depending on how this year goes, he chooses the pro option (including potentially a huge contract) and/or Vig or college somewhere like UVA or somewhere else.

Also, Robby Andrews did visit Gags and company a few months back but I don't know that it was an official visit -- might just have been in the area since he's from NJ.

Well, this is good news for Webb fan(s).

And makes sense for Robby, too -- now's the time to cash in during the buildup to the Olympics.

Interesting thread here. Seems like there's real Nike/Ray Flynn beef that could hurt Robby's chances at a contract with the swoosh.

Jossi, I was going to say: now that you've gotten to 10,000 posts, I think you should retire RunniNirvana and go for 10,000 with another username. Webb Fan sounds like a good candidate.

Robby Andrews signs with Nike

Instagram appears to be the new source for breaking running news. A day after Kyle Merber’s 3:35.59 was confirmed via the billion dollar photosharing app, it appears that Robby Andrews has officially signed with Nike.

A photo of Robby Andrews’ girlfriend and UVA 800m runner Jayna McGehee recently appeared on Instagram sporing the 2012 official Nike racing kit.

Robby obviously took his time and considered all the options we laid out for him earlier here on TrackFocus before signing with the Swoosh.

Now THAT is a unique way to declare who you've signed with!

agreed. i believe in the future, all newly pro runners should use robby andrews' girlfriend to announce their signings.

She appears to have neglected to don the shorts.

Or maybe she does have them on, and Robby will only be wearing racing briefs in competition this summer.
