PSU grad and Canadian runner. solid pickup for NAZ Elite, she'll make lots of Canadian teams. She already made World XC.
She’s sub-elite: 15:25 for 5000m and 9:06 for 3000m,and she turns 25 this April. At that age, with those marks, the ceiling is pretty clear. This is a runner no other serious pro group was lining up to sign. And that’s the pattern with NAZ Elite, they’re not recruiting athletes with upside, they’re collecting leftovers. Instead of developing future contenders, they keep picking up runners no one else wanted and calling it a “project.” That’s not talent identification, it’s roster filler.
She just started running 5 years ago. The ceiling isn’t clear at all.
The losers on this forum will cheer for the downfall of just about anything. It makes them feel good about their own failures in life. It's how this forum has always been.
Do people still wear Hokas? It has its moment, but I think people now go to On for their ridiculous looking stacked shoe.
Hokas are commonly recommended as good shoes for runners with frequent injuries or those recovering from injuries. I guess everyone isn't as elite as you are. 😂
It's true. She's not even a former soccer player or swimmer. She was a Canadian cheerleader who started running during the pandemic and worked her up to Penn State. Crazy progression.
