Good point. The United States is a dumpster fire of brainwashed people who are conditioned to believe that this for-profit healthcare system is somehow acceptable.

I was impressed about this former hobby jogger until I read at the end of the article that she only aims to be at 10 minutes for 3,000 meters so that told me that the competition is not that strong for most women in Canada.
If the second best woman in Canada can only manage 10 minutes for 3,000 meters that's not a very good sign. To be competitive on the international stage in 3000 meters for women they should be at around 8:40 or better.

My kid got shot at school.
My insurance would not cover the treatment cost for gunshot wound.
Denial letter has some guys name on the letterhead. Gotta take him out.
Read a good Jason Bourne novel.
Now I know how to do this.
NYC, where dreams are made from.
The depth (and even the front) wasn't good this year as there were no teams to be made. No worlds in the winter - January 2026. Even NACAC is scheduled for next November - which is poor timing (Nov22) as Canadian National's are the next week (Nov29), and NCAA is likely the same weekend as NACAC!! (who makes these schedules?!)
Not many Usports (Canadian University championships) people competed (Breedon was one) as there was also a University track meet (many 3000m runners) the same weekend in the same city. But, to the point that 10 minutes for 3000 isn't top level - very true. But again few from Usports competed, where I know a kid in 50th place has raced at that level. So Breedon is undervaluing her abilities.
The women lack depth as more women go to the NCAA than the men (easier for the women to get better athletic scholarships), and while some come back to compete (Ceili McCabe last year), others do not. Since a greater depth of men stay in Canada - not a single Canadian man ran at NCAA XC Champs this year (there were 5 Canadian women in the top 20) - the competition is a bit better. But the Universities generally don't support the meet - the big fields are the U18 (HS) - just as they don't for USATF XC championships, although it will be interesting next fall when the US trials will be for a Florida World XC meet.
