She ran USAs. I'm pretty sure most of BTC takes a few weeks off of training after August/September. Then start base building.

Just IG'ing. Honestly, how does someone like this have enough money to pay rent? She rarely races, and her contract can't be that substantial. She obviously doesn't have a job. I just don't get it.

She is Emily Infeld's roommate.

Sitting in a Joe Franklin Lecture right now and he brought up Silva . Said she was continually injured at Harvard because they did speed work on track 3 Days a week all year . At UNM they emphasis strength and tempos not griding out on the track . Smart guy ,
Right, this is why BTC has not been a good fit for her. She's chronically injured/recovering again. We have seen all of the other "Babes" competing over the past couple of seasons but she has been MIA. She's training but not competing. Maybe she needs to go back to Franklin.

Speaking as a non-fan (for a variety of reasons) of Harvard*, I still think a little nuance is called for in discussions like these.
I coached in the League for a few years and I can safely say that *every* Ivy has had multiple talents that just didn't pan out. If Harvard seems more prominent in this regard (percentage-wise, I doubt that it is), it's probably just that they do a better job of bringing in top-flight talent--so we pay more attention to their athletes' careers.
Over the last few years Saretsky et al. have established their women's t&f program as the class of the Ivies--they're doing something right--and have elevated the men's program to where it's often spoken of (along with Penn) as a strong candidate to break up the Cornell/Princeton hegemony in the near future.
However, I actually doubt that the focus-on-academics thing plays a significantly larger role at Harvard than elsewhere in the League. Many Ivy athletes are multiple-achieving individuals who find--as people do at all college levels--that the discipline and schedule-structuring that sports promote also pay off in academic success.
And in any case, as long as you don't actually flunk out (tough to do at Harvard) you've got a very good shot at graduating with honors--something like three-quarters of their grads do--so I don't think the academic pressure there need be overwhelming.
*For inquiring minds that want to know: no, I was not dinged by Harvard admissions. I didn't apply there; I attended a different Ivy (turning down Stanford and Caltech to do so).
Thanks for establishing from the get go that you have no idea what you're talking about: " in the last few years Saretsky et al have established their women's t&f program as the class of the Ivies". Saves us the trouble of taking seriously anything you have to say about Harvard.

Like I said, just IG'ing.

I’m confused because she’s still sponsored by Nike and BTC (according to her social media), yet I swear she hasn’t done anything in years and she’s never working out with the rest of them. Is she injured? Is she actually still with the team?
In '17 she slipped to 4:16 from 4:11 in 2016. May be tapped for track, but is well-positioned to go straight to por....er, I mean "fitness modelling"/IG girl where she could outpull Quigley and Frerichs for $$$ if she plays her cards right.
Sammy isn’t outpulling Quigley. Wanamaker mile champion and an actual model. She is crushing Nike dollars!!!
Bump

She’s just a workout pacer for the team that’s what they have her for.

Colleen Quigley is joining too. Doesnt seem like a fit at all, but money and the swoosh talks!
This post didn't age very well.
BTC/Nike are off her IG.
