Mike McGuire is extremely underrated, he's done a great job with those girls. Osika's 4:38 also came the day after the DMR she was on ran 11:04.
Yes, she's running very well. She's improved consistently and looks healthy as well. Was a phenom as a frosh/soph in high school (won Michigan state, beat Goethals, etc.), had a rough year or two, then really hit her stride again as a senior with a nice performance at Footlocker and some great mile/two mile times. She could be the best frosh in the NCAA (although Cuffe, Houlihan, Neer, etc will have something to say about that)
Yea, she was very good very young in HS, the last couple of years were kind of flat. Wow, what a year so far for her.
I do think Addison and Smith are both def 800 types too. They both need to get into a fast race at that. Smith didn't have a great weekend for sure at ND. Look out DMR at NCAA's
Kid has good genetics, mom and dad were both college studs.
Why was she at a community college first semester?
Who were her parents?
Just a guess but maybe a good one. Ms Tauro scholorship

I have no idea what you mean...truly!
I'm sure Tauro was on a full ride and was done running for UM after cross. Maybe Osika was waiting for her "full ride" to free up? Just a quess
She is running in the Junior USA Cross Country Championships on February 11th as well.

Mike Macguire will always get his MD crew going - he is one helluva coach and is one of the rare people that APPRECIATES having a job and really puts all of his energy into his work and atheltes.
Parents both ran at Eastern Michigan. Dad is PJ Osika and ran 3:41. Mom is Andrea Bowman and ran 2:06 and 4:17.
She has better genetics than me...
I heard that her grades were not good enough to get into UM initially so she had to go to JUCO to get to Michigan. Obviously, she has made the most of her opportunity.
