No, she’s a freshman. I ran in the MIAA and she was a senior last year
Holy cow.
Let me explain the joke to you:
Guy makes a post asking if Juliette is still in high school.
I quote his post and say, "Yes, Juliette is still in high school." OBVIOUSLY if you look on the front page, Juliette is wearing a jersey that says 'STANFORD'. so it is a sarcastic reference to the fact that she is in college, and not in high school.
Roison Willis and Juliette Whittaker run the #2 and #3 fastest indoor 800m times ever in a close battle to the line at the Badger Windy City Invite in Chicag...
that's an insane time. if you have 3 with a running start, that's a 4x800 in around 8:09. I had a decent to good HS team and we'd typically be around that fast (although our 9 flat 3200 runner had no top speed - he couldn't break 2:00, while our fast miler never ran it to save his legs)
You have to be from below the Mason/Dixon Line. 8:09 is not even close to being a 'good' HS team or time. We're a Class AA in Illinois and 7:50 wouldn't crack our top 10..
It's very close to be a 'good' H.S. time. And 7:50 right now would put you U.S.#1 ahead of Chaminade who will be going off in 90 minutes at the Armory.
You think? Gee, I'd never guess that a college freshman - training with someone who pushes her could take a second off between an indoor 800m and an outdoor time.
I think the bigger question is whether she or Whittaker are going to make the US team to Worlds? I'd still pick Mu, Wilson and Hurta, but the depth is great.
Roisin MF Willis 1:59.9 with splits of 28.02, 31.23, 30.73, 29.945
Juliette Whittaker 2nd in 2:00.32
Willis was ahead at 400 then Whittaker was ahead at 600 but Willis passed her and turned on the kick
Willis gonna run under 1:59 outdoors.
Why not Willis, Whitaker and Gorriaran(2:01 at bu yesterday) all under 1.59? There's nothing from this race to show that Willis will be best, in fact up til now Whitaker had the season best.
What we can conclude is that all 3 are right at 2 in Jan and trending quicker.

she ran 1:59.13 at the U20 World Championships last summer so this does feel like an inevitability at this point. The real question is how fast can she get. and can Whittaker go sub 4:30.

so why exactly would Stanford take these 2 out of the 800 to run a strong DMR?

Both are amazing. US women’s 800 championship qualifying is going to be brutal for the foreseeable future. Mu, both Wilsons, Hurta, Grace, Rogers, these two, etc. I wonder if Willis would ever consider running for Ireland (her mother was an Irish Olympian, if memory serves). Sure would make it easier to qualify.
Stanford women just won the 4x400 in a new SR 3:32 w/W&W running 52 legs.
If . . . if . . . they somehow make NCAAs in the 4x400, that would be the scenario where W&W ditch the individual events.
3:32 still leaves them seeded maybe 6 or 7....can they run the 800 final and 1 hour later the 4x400?
My guess . . . no inside info . . . is that with the DMR Friday night and the 4x400 Saturday, JJ would put all his eggs in the relay basket and have W&W ditch the 800 (and mile if Juliette qualifies) . . .

They could use a healthy Dudek who would be an upgrade over Tanaka.....any news on her?

ZD 9:08/3k and Tanaka 4:37/mile & 2:05/800 at Windy City . . . all prs . . . at this point, Tanaka is looking much stronger on the DMR anchor than her 4:42 leg from Razorback . . .
1-2 in the 800 is worth 18 pts (at least outdoors), which is more than hardly any in the 4x400. So, there's no sense in dropping the 800 for the 4x400. They rank much higher in the DMR, so it makes more sense to run that than the 4x4.

If they are going to have W&W run the dmr, why not put Whittaker on anchor and Lucy Jenks on 1200 leg
