...look at the facts here. Both Dwight Porter and Aurora Scott are black. Saying she will be better than Alan Webb is absolutely ridiculous, but black people often over-hype their own. That being said, what she is doing is outstanding for her agegroup. If you look at history, most young runners who do so well at that age, peak or burn out early and are never seen on the national or international scene later in life. If her goal is to win age-group championships and set some age-group records, she is doing the right thing. However, if she has Olympic dreams, she should drop the marathon for a while and find a coach who will develop her for the long-term.
I understand what I say may be politically incorrect, but you can't tell me it's not true.
