What has she been up to? She crushed it last year at NCAAs and now not a peep. What is she doing? I'm interested in her racing since she showed so much talent one year ago.

She is a Rhodes scholar, so she is probably in England studying.
I thought she delayed a year to train?
According to this she planned on starting last September.

Here is another article where she said she plans to run after school - http://www.runohio.com/news/03-01-07Michelle_Sikes.html
Definitely not over here in Oxford. Was meant to be coming over last September but I'm guessing she deferred or something for a year.
Best of luck to her. We were switching emails for a time when she was planning to come here and she seemed a lovely girl.
My friend who is a tennis writer sat next to Michelle at a tennis tournament a few weeks ago at Wake Forest and says she is fine and training for the Olympic Trials.
I heard she lives in DC in Southeast
Our team was at the Wake Forest Inv. in March and Michelle was very present and visible, standing on the infield for the start of the "Michelle Sikes 5,000m" race which is now named in her honor at the meet. She seemed to be helping coach. For several races, she had a stop watch, timing Wake Forest female runners and giving them instruction/encouragement from the infield during the races. I did not get to talk to her so I am just going on what I observed.
how come she hasn't raced? does anyone know?
