Wow Letsrun is ridiculous. Math/comp sci are both tough majors, combine them and you have a very hard course load. The fact that she managed to get a 4.0 while running well is truly impressive. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of the posters here couldn't do that.

Ya, it's not that impressive. Anyone who lifts a finger and actually studies has a 4.0 ... by actually studying I mean treating school as a 9-5 job.
uh, me thinks things are a bit tougher at MIT than at Podunk Community College you attended...
I thought Robby Andrews went to UVA?
Sounds like Jennifer's hard work and talent on the cross-country course and on the track translate into an outstanding student as well. Maintaing 4.0 in college as a math or computer science major is incredible. Doing so as a math/computer science double major at one of the most selective schools in the nation while managing a highly successful collegiate running career is out of this world. Honestly, I can't even fathom how hard she must work. Her teammates are very lucky to have such a great role model to look up to. Congrats and good luck Jennifer!

I knew a guy who was a great runner who dug roads for a living, back in the day when you used to dig them with a pick axe. Funny he never mentioned it though
Nothing against the girl and she should be proud of her achievments but it's a sport and there is no asterisk on results giving exam grades.

Probably because he was ashamed at how f***ing stupid he was that the only job that he could do with his skillset and intelligence was dig roads.
