While I truly like Emily and wish her the best, I'm only posting this to point out a few things to the argumentative "ByeByeBaby." He/she compared Jordan to Emily and concluded that Jordan is washed up. Here's a more thorough comparison:Jordan has attained times very close to Emily's at an age 1-2 years younger that Emily. I think Jordan still has time to progress. She's only a junior who is 20 years, 6 months old. In her interviews from this indoor season, she indicated that she's training through indoors and looking to put up some fast times this outdoor season in time-trial type races. I'll pull this thread back up and update her PRs as they roll in.

Okay let's give her some improvement and go with 4:10.01 for 1500m and 9:00.01 and she's still 21 and yet to break either barrier. Didn't Infield just run 4:08 and she don't get nearly the attention as Golden Girl Hasay. Hasay has to move up to the 10000m or she will be a also ran if she goes pro. Also didn't a 18 year Ethiopian just run under 4:03 two or three times indoors? Pull the blinders from your eyes and you too will see Jordan hasn't really improved much time wise since she was 16/17 and it's over four years later! She's 21 and there are several distance athletes who are world-class and will be competing at the Olympics at that age and haven't stalled as long as Jordan Hasay.
