This year she:
-had a assault on 1000m indoors
-was 2nd at Outdoor Nats in the 1500m
-won the 3000m at world jr's in 8:58
-relocated across a continent
Speculate what she would have done her freshman year at the NCAA XC meet had she not forgone a college team. (Assuming Alberto coaching her) would it have been the same result as a Pilot or a Duck?
She's not that good at XC at all really. Remember when Sarah Baxter beat her. And then Baxter got beat by Cranny and Efraimson. Similar to Rupp, given what he has done on the world stage one would think he would've won more xc titles in college.

NXN in 2012 was a complete mud bath which didn't play to Cain's strengths at all. The race was won in 19:17 which is a complete joke for a national championship. In 2013, the ground was firm and the race was won in 16:50. I bet Cain would have been top 5.

But Cain made a huge jump after she lost to Baxter at 2012 NXN, making the final at Worlds in the 1500 that summer.
Cranny was 12th yesterday and Cain was on a different level from her last track season. It's hard for me to imagine that the WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPION at 3000 wouldn't have contended for the win at NCAA XC. Maybe she doesn't beat Avery because Kate ran great yesterday, but I would say second for Cain.
