Just found out that last summer former NFL WR Chad Johnson's 12 year old daughter Cha'iel Johnson won the AAU 800 and 1500 title. 2:14 and 4:47. She's also run 56 for the 400. Very strong kick too. Olympic level talent for sure.

How is her first name pronounced?
Chi-el? Liked Child without the "d"?
Or Cha-ee-el?
Or Cha-eel?
I'm excited for her - her dad seems like he's super excited about being a "track dad" and if she could do some damage in her teens then we might be seeing someone who could dominate at the world level in 8-10 years.
400 in 56 at age 12?
Then she needs to be a 400 meter specialist for damn sure. She could be a sub 51 second runner in high school, and go after Sanya's record.

Imagine when she gains some strength? Her 800 will be amazing, too.
I met him a few years ago. He was in town for one of his daughter's meets (I think it was outdoor) and at a local restaurant by himself. Really nice guy. BIG track fan in general. Bigger soccer fan. I was in heaven getting to talk about my two favorite sports with him.
Asked him what he thought he could run for a 5K and he laughed and said he tried one time without much training and did over 17 minutes. We both had a good laugh at that one. Said he had no doubt a pro soccer player would be much faster.
Chad Johnson running 17 in the 5k? Where's the result? Sounds like an exaggeration but if his daughter is this talented at mid distance you cant rule it out.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
