Cain/Judd in both, in just the 8 or will Cain not bother herself with Juniors? Will Salazar risk his reputation putting Cain in the Juniors in 2014? It's going to be in Salazar's backyard.
World Juniors are every other even year, Worlds and World Youth every other odd year. Next year World Juniors are the only championships - Judd and Cain will certainly both compete if able.
I think the poster gets that - the point is that with Mary eschewing World Youth this year, will she bother with world Juniors next year? Since there isn't another global meet next year for Senior athletes, and Juniors is in Eugene, then that likely will be the focus for her (unless she an Alberto have completely lost it), as it will be for Judd (Ajee will be too old for the meet). What event (if not both depending on the schedule) she will run is the point of discussion.
Yes, seeing her run the etc was such a thrill, now I just need to see these other 2, saw Cain in a replay so far. Sounds like we have a good future for women's middle distance..

She's insanely likable isn't she?
She is coached by Rob Denmark (look him up) now and has been for a little while so the training listed earlier is her old training - no idea how that has changed under Denmark.

more than likely. Absolutely nothing wrong with that if she is, in fact I'd be very surprised if she hasn't been snapped up by a big name sponsor yet.

Hannah England, for example, ran in college in the US. So has Judd lost her NCAA eligibility?
The flotrack video says she is sponsored
I guess so, I'm not too well versed on NCAA eligibility. My guess is that it's not on her radar to go to the US to study anyway.
In any case, she's a long way ahead of where Hannah England was at the same age. Not saying that NCAA wouldn't be good for her, but the most likely scenario is that Nike will give her a decent contract and she'll study somewhere over here and probably compete sparingly for whichever university she ends up at. University sports is nowhere near on the same scale over here as it is in the US, so there wouldn't be any issues regarding her sponsorship
She was going to go to Bath Uni but may be taking a year out.

Any Kenyan women faster than this at age 18?
Or do we not care?
Fist who knows how old they are.
Second, at 18 they're most likely milking some herder's goats.

With all due respect to Judd, this point in particular means nothing. Almost all women distance/middle-distance runners from the college level on down are queens of drama at the end of a race. It's embarrassing the way they sprawl out on the track or at the end of an XC race, collapsing as if they'd been shot or stricken with paralysis.
Know nothing beyond that you can look up, but if you look at the 400m times build and light training would say 1500m would be her best distance. In last week seen her lead out for the win and come from behind. Sub 4 all over her in future and if they get the opposition off the juice she will be a contender
Rob Denmark was a great 5000m runner who had a lightning finish but he was around in the era when the EA's where dropping unbelievable times. I read somewhere that he was physically sick when he heard Geb's 5000m record. Probably exagerated but still

Almost all middle distance women don't all act like drama queens and sprawl out after every race.

From what I can tell, only two Kenyan junior women have ever run faster and Judd has another year as a junior. This year no Kenyan junior has run within 3 seconds over her. Only Americans Ajee Wilson and Mary Cain have gone faster.
Apparently you've never known what trying really is, if you've never been so exhausted at the end of a race you can barely stand, then you're either lying or a lazy motherf*cker.
There is hopefully going to be an intersting match between Jessica Judd and Anita Hinriksdottir at the European Junior Championships next week.
