Hmm, 30 seconds out wrote:

She already graduated, so the question was more whether she wanted to go for more champs with a graduate degree.
She's not at the level of our international runners yet, but she just improved by six seconds against pros her first time out after a long season. Her frame suggests a future on the roads. Best of luck to her. She is a gamer.
She was and is still a good flat racer, steeple may have strengthened her.
Take off all the collegiate point getting racing, she may be able to focus on bigger goals.
Pre steeple showed her the reality of the pro world , she's 30 seconds behind.
World champs and Tokyo at this point are a reach in the steeple.
Hopefully they let her race non steeple to improve her speed.
Road racing might do her well, she's a good x-country athlete too, nice transfer of skills.
Emma Coburn's PR coming out of college was 9:28. Allie's is 9:31.
Allie's biggest issue now is speed. If the coaches at Brooks give her a lifting plan and work on her 800/1500 speed, she can be amazing at steeplechase. Allie has never fallen during a steeplechase - something that Coburn cannot say.
You can't criticize her performance at Pre - the race went out on world record pace. It's not fair to expect her to be able to do that. She still ran a big personal best time despite having to go out much faster than she should be going out. And for the record, she beat the girl that she has to compete with for the 4th spot on the World's Roster. So she's already a favorite for the world team in the steeple this year.
Didn't Boise State make XC NCs?

Woohoo! Thank you for posting. Now for who will be her coach... I’m guessing she either joins Emily and Molly under Ray, or the Bowerman ladies under Schumaker.
It's Jerry Schumacher actually.
