Definetely Brie Felnagle, and Jen Barringer, Sally Kpyego, Bowman maybe, any others ready for the dough.

ALL RETARD.
which will have a shoe named after them?
Don't know, don't care.
susan kujken would for sure, the girl has won ncaa's plus finish top 3 on multiple occasions, and has another shot at adding an indoor/outdoor and cross country title to her name. Plus she is currently the european cross country champion!
yet you took time to click on and reply to the thread. one might question your intelligence.

The Nike Zoom Ziegle is already in production.
England is out of the country finishing her degree. Kuijken, Kipyego, and Barringer if she goes this yr. Fanning could make a good training group with a sponsor but Felnagle and Bowman only if they join groups. Fanning was 5th or 6th in the trials final and ran sub 15:30. I don't thing Fel and Bowman made it that far they would need to cut some big time if they expect to run as sponsored 1500 runners.
And if she signs with a group like Mcmillan ,Zap, Mammoth she will be able to do well. She won't get a Goucher or Flanagan deal is what I mean. Maybe JJ will get her a deal so she can stay in Knoxville and run with his sister and that group
Barringer are the only ones who will go at that level. AR and incredible range. I would bet on Barringer in a 1500.
And Willard signed with Nike. Barringer will get a much better deal. Rock star from the 1500 through cross.
Melissa hasn't run any indoor meets, as she has just resumed training after her plantar injury...but expect her to be ready to go for outdoor. I guess her decision to go pro will be based off of how her track season goes...i know she is working on getting her MBA so I don't know what her plants entail with regards to running pro...anyone know?

England finished 2nd at the British Trials last week and has been pro for sometime now:
http://www.globalathletics.com/Athletes/hannah_england.phpGiven that the economy is in such a mess you got to figure the shoe industry will be looking to spend only on a sure thing, also some of the runners signed just did not pan out as they hoped. As mentioned here some runners will have to join a group if they wish to stay in the game and make it to the next olympics.
I'm free to respond when and where I choose. I care about answering, I never implied that I didn't. In case you haven't noticed, yours is a throw-away response which also might lead one to question your intelligence.
Barringer - nice catch, will get a decent contract
Felnagle - marketable, likely to get a contract
Bowman - lots of potential, might get contract
Fanning - same boat as Bowman
Kuijken - tough sell in USA but great in home country, might get a contract
Kipyego - Also tough sell in US, has to rank high among fellow Kenyans to get a contract
- things might be different another year
Spot on.
Barringer - Nice catch, will get a decent contract and will likely get good enough to compete internationally like Goucher and Flanagan.
Felnagle - Marketable, likely to get a contract; don't expect much from her as a pro. US circuit and B circuit overseas, at best.
Bowman - Lots of potential, might get contract; see Felnagle above, but has more upside than Felnagle.
Fanning - See Felnagle above.
Kuijken - Tough sell in USA but great in home country, might get a contract.
Kipyego - Also tough sell in US, has to rank high among fellow Kenyans to get a contract - things might be different another year; among the group, will be the best pro. Will eventually get a contract after she runs pro and becomes regular on podium. 2 more NCAA titles (w/ records) may net her a modest contract. Has the potential and personality to inspire on world level (e.g., Dibaba, Defar, Kiplagat)
Barringer: Will get good contract $150,000+ from the larger shoe companies. She has proven she can perfrm at the world stage and has the times to go with it. Also the future of US womens distance running.
Felnagle: Will get a contract providing she preforms well and medals indoor and outdoors this NCAA season. Also needs to run sub 4:07 to prove she is capable of making major championships. She has the marketability and if she succeeds at the above could command $50,000-$100,000+ per year.
Bowman: Really needs to learn how to race smart and win major NCAA title. If she can win NCAA chmapionship could command contract but at this stage she would be looking at a good post collegiate group somewhere.
Kujken: Interesting case. International stud who has had great success in the collegiate system over wide range from 1500m through to XC and has had success at european level being current european cross country champion. Is marketable and is known well enough through her collegiate achievements to secure US contract but will most likely turn pro through the european avenues, where more money will be offered. Asking price $30,000-$80,000 per year.
Kipyego: One of the most decorated collegiate female distance runners of all time. No question she will get a contract, the question is how much she can command. Will obviously get offers from US reps once her indoor season is done and could command $50,000-$70,000 per year with obvious provisions to compete within the US at company supported events.
Anyone think Geena Gall has a shot? NCAA champ in 800. Already ran a 2:03.
Impressive figures. The level of delusion never ceases to amaze.
Rreallworldd, they are realistic, maybe your just some ex chump highschooler who never made it
