is Dani Jones the next Jenny B?

Christina Aragon will smoke 'em all at NCAAs.

I actually ran with Dani a few weeks ago. We were clicking off 6:30s over some moderate rolling hills, and she was talking super easy like it was effortless. She went 13+ miles, I went 5+. She has a strong aerobic engine for a 1500m runner.

I know she was good in HS but did she show big potential?

She was the top female high school distance runner in the country her senior year.

Don't really know but I'm not going to get too excited about it. Plenty "would be talents" out there but I would be more impressed by the underdog. Just saying.

Next Shannon Rowbury.

The entire Colorado team seems to be having a breakthrough track season. Maybe the new facility is kicking in?

The new facility is nice, but I am guessing having two Olympic medalists has done wonders for recruiting as well.

All very nice, but the current team was recruited before those medals.

I wish all young female runners would look at this picture and realize that success is not determined by weight or body type. Jones has a healthy natural look that will serve her well in the long run, whereas I worry about the long term future for Rainsburger, she doesn't look healthy.

Rainsberger would likely look fine if she wasn't in the middle of a stride. That's plenty of quad there, and isn't the best representation of how healthy she looks. Agreed that Jones looks very healthy, and is clearly very fit.
