Jordan Hasay is a success in whatever she does.
She is a straight A student in college.
She might be a Olympic runner in 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028? (she's only 18!)
She and her rumored boyfriend might someday have little baby El Guerroujs or Svetlana Masterkovas (only way better looking).
She is a winner in life and has long luscious hair.
2012 also!
who's her rumored boyfriend?
ummm....ever heard of Jordan Hasay

That's great, except she's been there for 1.5 semesters... Almost anyone can do that with all the general educations people have to take.
Actually most college students bomb out their first few semesters if they are going to do poorly.
If they can make it through their first year, very few will drop out or have many problems.
Hint, her rumored boyfriend is a sub 4 miler.
Alan Webb? Lets hope her kids have her hair..
Usain Bolt!

Yeah, and what is your mile PR asshole?
She's almost run my HS PR as a college frosh, and I went on to run at a major D1, compete elite, internationally, the whole deal.
Jordan is coming along just fine.
Unless you're a woman, 4:35 is a good HS PR for a 14 year old high school freshman, maybe a 15 year old sophmore at best. "D1, compete elite, etc.", as a guy, even in the low point of the 1990s, yeah right.
Hasay is a Goddess

Brian Sell? Don't underestimate how much an under- or poorly-trained high schooler can improve once they start doing serious work. I have no problem believing some kid running 4:35 off of 25 miles a week and no offseason training became a national class athlete a few years down the line.
She was valedictorian of her high school class... yes, she is very bright.

no chance in hell better looking !
I'm already impessed, but if she shows up at Aggie Camp in a couple years when she's legal and runs a beer mile then I'll be seriously impressed. Of course, she'll have to be racing mando in the beer mile, but that's just a technicality.

I'm already impressed. Keep in mind 4 things:
(1) her recent 4:35 is the equivalent of 4:15-16, not 4:17-18
(2) she did it in late February
(3) according to her, she has done little or no speedwork
(3) she had a MASSIVE negative split — 2:12 for the last half.
translate: there's more in the tank
She's improving, and I suspect she'll dip under 4:10 this year as long as she stays healthy. Her future is in the 5K and up, but she's doing just what she needs to do now by concentrating on the shorter distances.
She's also proven that she's tough as nails, being a consistent high finisher in CC as a freshman.
How 'bout we appreciate what she's accomplished so far rather than be cynical about what she hasn't.
I Love LetsRun! Only here can we have people nit-pick the details and miss the greater context of the question. I wasn't making any comment on her personally in the sense that I think she is sub-par or failing in any way. I think she is showing herself to be great relative to her past performances. She isn't running at the highest level in her age group, but she is very close. I was really curious, since so many on this board deride her for being over-rated (which I don't think she is...she was an outstanding HS runner) when she is actually developing an excellent base and transitioning into a new program, to see what approximate time many believed would show Jordan to be gainning ground and developing toward a world class runner rather than being a very good college class runner.
Some of the replys are great, some have been over-the-top ridiculous, but I like Jordan's positive influence and believe she is good for the sport. I wasn't attempting to put her down in any way. If that was unclear in the original post, my apologies.

I should've been clearer in the last line of my post. It wasn't directed toward you but instead to the several jaded, cynical posters. I took your question to be an honest one, to which my response was, "I'm already impressed."
You're one of the civilized ones on this board.
Sub 4.
Jordan Hasay is Lushes
Jordan just lost to a pro by a tenth of a second in the mile, and took the top mark by a collegiate. To run that fast at this point in the season is great, not to mention she's said that indoor track isn't as serious for her. She definitely has more in the tank. How could one of the most talented female preps in history not go on to do great things in college?
Also, her boyfriend is Parker, a freshman on the UO team who's a friend of mine. He's short and blonde too so they'll have amazing runner little runner babies for sure.
