settle down... catch your breath... she is and has been an absolute stud for a while. this is what we finally get with a fully healthy Jane Hedengren. she probably would have won it last year if she hadnt been injured and would certainly have been in contention her first two years. but this is what happens when all the pieces finally come together your senior year and you can run your race at 100% of your capacity. we got the warning notice at NXR SW. we should have been paying attention. now comes the inevitable letsrun overhype. lets watch what the kid has in store for us for track season before getting ahead of ourselves because of this incredible effort.

I feel like Hedengren has always been kind of an underdog. She hasn't been talked about as much and getting more attention are people like Leachman and Engelhardt, as well as Zealand and Shea last year. Same could be said about Ritzenhein. I didn't really follow NXN last year because the top runner in my state was running FL, but I just recently found out about her. For Hedengren to set a national record and then come out and dominate probably one of the deepest (if not THE deepest) fields out there by 40 seconds is absolutely incredible, especially considering her previous credentials maybe not being as favorable to names I mentioned earlier.

Should be best speed rating in history.

She has only been an underdog because she had never won a big national race before. She was very good, but it had just not come together for her. (A bit like Noonan from CA, who was 5th today in boys race).

If you are national caliber for 4 years like Sadie, or win championship races as a Soph like Ritz and Leachman, you are elevated in the media discussion.

Hedengren will not be an underdog now in track. Hopefully she maintains her health and fitness thru her senior year.

Speed rating will be set by what everyone else did, including the men’s race.

Should be very high though.

It was a joke. I agree with all you say.

I have it at around 172-173. Boys race won't affect the girls speed ratings. They are rated separately.

She would have finished mid-pack in the boys race. That's nuts.

What's that I see in the distance? Uh, oh, the Cult is on its way to declare how unimpressive this performance was and how she who cannot be named would have dusted her today.

Hopefully she receives -- and accepts -- an invitation to race Foot Locker Nationals next Saturday.
