That said, I have no idea her plans for the rest of the year. Except it wouldn't surprise me if she is done. World Jrs was probably the big race of the season.
OK.
But since she chose to go school, then she probably should be there for the beginning of class.
Next year's WC's are at the end of August. I think she will start class late then.
The 2016 Olympics and 2017 WC's are earlier in August so she could run those and be to school on time.
I wouldn't expect September races from her.
But you never know how things will evolve.
I think a person can keep a full time college schedule and be a professional runner.
It's probably easier to be college as a pro than as a college athlete actually.
Do we know for sure that she is going full time? 12 hours is usually full-time for financial aid purposes.
