I agree. Not a religious person myself but I think it's important to respect everyone's beliefs, faiths, opinions, etc.

I'm afraid that Erin has put herself in a position where most sponsors/training groups will shy away from signing her. She has huge upside but does anyone believe she will remain healthy?

Are inferring that she got injured on purpose? She’s got insane 10k ability, she’ll get a contract for sure.

What was her longest span of of running healthy in college?

month

Body mass composition. That is all.

I agree, if she were lighter this wouldn't be an issue.

she looked especially thin recently

Really? if they are too skinny, they are prone to injury and if they are too fat they are prone to injury.

this would never have been considered a factor if Erin was an Aaron

Injury prone runners should not be running on a banked 200 m indoor track.

Not intentional.

She is a victim of circumstance just like Molly Seidel who was forced back to Notre Dame because of not being able to land a contract. She then went back to ND and ran 1 or 2 meets and again could not get a contract with any established group. Tim Broe who was starting a new group was willing to take a shot. He had nothing to lose.

Erin Finn is now in this same situation. She has created a history for herself that will make it rough to get a contract. Karissa will sign something close to 300% more than Erin will.

NAZ Elite?????

Female bodies respond differently to low body fat than males. Not enough calories=no periods=estrogen pulled from bones=stress fractures. If Erin were an Aaron, then her race times would also be much faster due to higher testosterone levels and not having as much of a risk as low bone density/increased chance of injury. But Erin is an Erin.

That's why most people end up at Saucony. I think Molly is injured again. She is not racing this weekend.

Molly and Erin are in a group of runners who were superstars in high school and college that have a reputation of always being injured.

Seidel is not injured. She is not running track, indoors at least. Focusing on the roads.
