can anyone explain why she is not signed? everyone else in the race was and she got third

Umm, 7-9 don't look signed either.

Finals

7 Jessica Minty New Balance Boston 9:17.48

8 Erin Dromgoole New Balance Boston 9:18.71

9 Carrie Strickland Bowerman Ath 9:20.37

10 Kristin Anderson Nike 9:25.33

yea i mean not EVERYONE in the race is signed literally but to get 3rd in that race is pretty legit. it is just surprising that she doesn't have a legit contract to go with it like the ppl she beat have

9:00 and 3rd at nationals certainly is legit. I assume most people who make such decision will be calling her or her agent soon.

she's from my town in jersey. So she gets my support. Good to see jersey runners doing well

She is wearing the Brooks (sponsored athlete) uniform in that picture with the interview. Did Brooks pick her up since the interview and the picture was sent later? Or was she dropped by Brooks? Or is she not receiving what she thinks she is worth and therefore acting like a selfish bitch and not giving credit to Brooks?

She is not sponsored by Brooks currently. She has a friend that works for the company that got her a singlet. That is as sponsored as she is.

Julie Culley is a beast! less than a second behind jenn rhines and way ahead of those other sponsored people...that's pretty legit to me... someone has to sign this girl up

If she wants a sponsor, she should get an agent. I don't think writing on letsrun is going to help get money for this athlete.

how much is she worth? please tell me what you would pay her for a year.

9 flat is worthy of money? it is a long way from making yourself a name in the sport, even in the US.

i hope he runs faster and has a great career but contract $ for that performance is not likely.

Has she asked her coach Matt Centrowitz to make a phone call on her behalf to someone at Nike? I figured Matt knows enough people at the Swoosh to get equipment at the very least.

She ran the NB Collegiate open 1500 in a New York Athletic Club uniform, I don't think she bothered to update her USATF entry.

We'd sponsor her. We'd give her a high four-figure contract. Tell her to give us a call.

Looking her up for possible sponsorship.

Hard worker, big improvement this winter under Centrowitz.

The 9:00 3k for 3rd place is a legit performance.

4:17.68 (indoors) 1500 this year. Would not make top 30 in 2007. Is "B" standard for trials but more than 30 have run faster so she'll need to run faster

4:38.96 mile was ranked 17th fastest USA time in 2007 in USA

5k best is 16:00.20, also ran in 2007 - #33 in the USA

2nd place at 2007 Club Cross Championships behing another unattached athlete - where she represented a Brooks Club

Keep working harder and post faster times, attain a solid Olympic Trials qualifier, the Brooks singlet is not helping as it turns other potential sponsors away, unless she's trying to win a contract from Brooks. That said, Brooks should sign her up, if not then she should lose the singlet.

Someone will pick her up soon.

Like I said, she has already been picked up by the NYAC. But really, if you want to keep lobbying on her behalf... to each their own.

Here you go, try to erase the Brooks image from your brain:

Whoops, sorry, looks like I was wrong. I just watched the TV coverage and she is back in the Brooks uniform.

(Obviously a post by a male who has no concept of female performances). She freakin' finished 3rd and beat sponsored, well-recognized athletes.... Katie McGregor, Erin Donohue, Amy Hastings. This girl's performance is screaming for some help!

So she needs to show a little love for Brooks if she wants for cash.
