Yes turning 19 in August is old. She should be turning 18 in August if she was in the correct grade for her age.

Why is this point about the other coach always brought up on here? I have no idea if it's true, but if so, so what? Even Elon Musk is on the spectrum.

In the 2023 thread someone mentioned it was Hammel.

You stated something that wasn't true and then disproved it yourself. She was great in JH. But she got better sophomore year and junior year over freshman year. That was the point.
She was still much slower than 7th and 8th grade. It's debatable whether she improved throughout HS after getting much slower. Her performances through HS look much more like a plateau.

You guys were wrong but keep doubling down. Somebody claimed that most fast girls get slower through high school. If that is a trend, it should be easy to list 5 or 10 or 20 of them. Yet, not even one girl has been named who was elite and peaked freshman year. Ping's lifetime PR is from junior year. So even she doesn't fit the false narrative. We would all love to hear about a dozen or so. Ping was freshman about 8 years ago. It it is common, there should be dozens since then. I will eagerly await seeing the list. I always love to learn more about running history.

She could have picked U New Hampshire that developed Elle Purrier...or Oxford.

Are you sure she didn’t pick the furthest away on accident?

Engelhardt ran 4:28.46 in the mile as a junior. She’s continuously gotten better each year. Not sure how anyone can talk I’ll or bash or progress over the last five years. Her times speak for themselves … Props to her and her team around her! I’ll admit I wasn’t sure she’d get much better since her freshman year at Ventura. Glad she proved me wrong.

She’s a senior now. Off to NC State next fall ….

She already announced she won’t be competing in the high school/CIF-sanctioned meets, so why are you guys filling page-after-page with nonsense. You guys are like a bunch of bickering school girls. Move on.

she mentioned in a couple of her interviews this year that her college career will be more important than her HS career

The linked article from Dec. 20 is paywalled, but I just saw it and noticed an interesting quote:
“They have done a lot for me,” Engelhardt said of the Ventura High program. “It is bittersweet. It is going to be sad not seeing my friends. We have built such a great bond and I feel like that is something I will miss, but I am lucky enough to be able to come back here on breaks.”This makes it sound as if she's not only not running for her school team, but going to be living/training somewhere else entirely over the winter/spring (altitude?). The article does not elaborate on this though.
