    A disaster? Do you have a time machine or crystal ball? Maybe she would be running 8:20 and 14:30 by now. Nobody knows but you claim to.

    What’s the deal, here…are you not clear that her goal was an NCAA record, not an American record? The stupidity of NBC Sports, not showing her crossing the line, by a record crushing 6 seconds, is their failing not her’s. I get that you’re disappointed but this doesn’t detract from the magnitude of her accomplishment! She’s got plenty of time to go chase another American or World Record. Patience!

    She is turning 21. If she didn't plan to turn pro at some point and have decision points laud out, I am very disappointed. Therefore, I don't think it would be a hasty decision to turn pro now.

    I think they do have decision points, again it's just the 8:35 makes it more interesting.

    - NCAA indoor champ - any more titles

    - NCAA outdoor season - does she get the 5k record? What's new 1500 PR?

    _ May 6 - possible college graduation date. (Dec '23 latest)

    - NCAA outdoor champ - any more titles, is she contender for Bowerman?

    - usatf outdoor - how does she compete w/pros? Does she unexpectedly make world team?

    - 2023 xc - does she want 1 more go round w/ Kelsey, Sam and the ladies on the comfy UVA panorama farms course?

    - Dec 31 apparently her current 1 yr pro nil contract w/ adidas ends, making her a free agent again.

    - What's the best plan to prepare for 2024 trials? Stay at NC st, or move altitude w/ full focus.

    - and of course there is 'nothing wins' point that she should force a new shoe deal leaving NC State tomorrow morning due injury risk, or potential time regression.

    Pay attention. Astro said it would have been a disaster had she gone pro out if HS. Nobody knows. I merely pointed out that we don't know if she woukd be running 8:20 had she gone pro out if high school but Astro claims to know that she would be running poorly.

    Well fortunately we never had to find out. Personally I think going to college and being able to develop and to recover from injury in a more supportive and forgiving environment than in the pros seems like a really smart decision.

    Or maybe she would have burned out like Mary Cain, working as an assistant HS coach, living off her legendary pre-pro reputation. This type of speculation is rubbish. There is a very slim chance that after her knee surgery and bout with Covid, she would rise in 1-2 years to hold a World Record in the 3K. There is a good chance she can achieve close to the 14:30 while still in college. This would be a CR but not a WR. So why skip the free education and building a solid foundation, like other top pro’s? I don’t understand this rush to riches BS, that clearly doesn’t resemble her value system (and not mine…I’ve been there).

    It's easy to forget that Cain the pro

    won 2 us championships for adult women

    won the world Jr championship at 3000m, beating the africans

    made a world championship final for adult women in 1500m.

    The candle may have burned briefly, but very brightly. Her laurels are better than many pros who had 10year+ careers.

    re: RunForLife2

    Your speculation is just as much rubbish. It is pretty insulting to Tuohy to say she may have burned out while another poster said she may be even better. Why would you say that?
