Mary Lou Retton was on the Wheaties box at 16. Katie Ledecky, Michael Phelps. Acting how 'bout Jody Foster, Daniel Radcliffe, Miley Cyrus. Plenty of kids making big bux as HS sophs.
Sadie E did her Nil with New Balance last year as a soph.
Plus New Balance signed three juniors just this year all at once. not much of a difference. they go even younger in other sports. Soccer star McKenna Whitham signed with Nike at 13. Not sure how old Olivia Moultrie was when she signed with Nike. Pretty young. And that was real money, not some shoes and flights to meets. New Balance probably would have been happy to add her when they signed Michalak since they finished one-two at NXN but all the other brands probably felt she was untouchable because of her dads connections with On.
