Anyone know what reigning NCAA 1500 champ Rhianwedd Price is up to?

bump it up

Likely working on a name change. Takes a lot of time. Not sure why parents do that.

As I understand it she got very sick over Christmas break back in England. Her sister came back while she was still hospitalized. I don't even know if she is back at school yet or if she is now running.

Rhianwedd is a beautiful Welsh name,she's not from England, she's from Cymru (Wales).

I thought she was redshirting.

I don't see any results from her indoors. Her twin sister ran on the DMR at NCAAs and has run 4:17 already outdoors but I see nothing from Rhianwedd since NCAA xc.

Is she/was she hurt? Was she redshirting? Is she coming back outdoors?

This Mississippi State article says she will be running this Spring:

The women’s team returns 19 individuals from last year’s roster, seven of which participated in the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Ore.

Rhianwedd Price, the 2015 NCAA champion in the 1500m run, returns for her junior season with the Bulldogs.

Rhianwedd still hasn't raced. Is she redshirting?

I would like to know the answer to that as well. She has apparently not competed since the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships in November of 2015. What is going on? Can she miss an entire indoor season and an entire outdoor season?

She raced this past weekend. Sorry you're too incompetent to find the results.

Actually, she didn't race this past weekend, she DNF'd running UNATTACHED. She just had pacing duties in the 3k, so I wouldn't count that as a race

To raw thang (a.k.a. brainiac):

Please show us the RESULTS of her "race" last weekend... since you are competent enough to find the results:

I have it on good authority that Rhianwedd Price was stricken with pleurisy a number of months ago and I understand she will be redshirted for this recent season she missed.

Price ran a 10k on the roads this week in Mississippi and placed 2nd.

I guess this is good news. Presumably she's redshirting for some reason but is in pretty good shape. Maybe coming back from an injury that would have prevented her from being competitive at NCAAs?

I have it on good authority (i.e. from the mouth of her coach) that she had pleurisy and she will take a redshirt. Pleurisy is inflammation of tissue layers (pleura) lining the lungs.
