In 2008 the five best high school middle and long distance runners face a touch decision about their high school post season. If you were the coach of:
German Fernandez 4:00.29 (1600m), 8:34.23 (3200m)
Chanelle Price 2:02.38 (800m)
Jordan Hasay 4:16.98 (1500m), 9:52.13 (3200m)
Christine Babcock 4:33.82 (1600m)
Laurynne Chetelat 9:52.51 (3200m)
would you advise them to try and secure a qualfying time and compete in the Olympic Trials -or- go to the World Junior Championships? While they don't have a great chance of making the Olympic Team (we'll know about Chanelle's chance after the Pre Meet); however, all are capable of improving and competing pretty well against international juniors.
