Never a state cross country champion? What a great job at Boise State from coach and Emma. Wow.

The girl that beat her at cc state in 2009 was a freshman who won state all 4 years and got third at footlocker nationals
Seems like those "B-list" runners often become the best pros. So many phenoms burn out early.
Marathon is a different beast than HS 5Ks.
I like Emma, and I'm rooting for her.
She ran her last 5k of the marathon faster than her high school 5K.
Did she run all four years in high school? Could be a late bloomer. That said, she is an amazing athlete and she will continue to get better.

I understand Bates wasn’t Touhy or Cain, but she was an all-state performer multiple times with range from 800-5k. Also, a 5:00 mile in 2010 was a top 50 national performance.
