What happened to Leah Stephens? She was a big help at their last XC champs win.
Back-to-back-to-back sacral stress fractures, which I’m sure was absolutely maddening … and resulted in a hard reset.
Today, she announced she has been unable to train and has been diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, with an uncertain future. Looked it up. Sounds terrible, but should be completely unrelated to her sacrum issues.
I didn’t have the time to listen to the whole episode and sort of skipped around. Reading or listening, rather, between the lines, Hartman may be doubtful for Nuttycombe.
Not sure it's in this interview, but Gapes won NZ national xc race, while home on summer break, and has thereby already qualified for World XC in FL. Go Kiwis!

Grace is a question mark for Nuttycomb but not because of health. Simply want to keep her fresh for the postseason. FYI, Armitage will not be racing this season due to injury. This is the deepest team they’ve had in years and I don’t see anyone beating them at nationals.

whats up with Templier? Just caution given her injury last spring or is she a doubt for the postseason as well?

Templier is on the start list for today. In the Instagram post a few up she is also seen training and she has been in pictures with the team. If she is where she was last season, or even close to it, she will be competing for one of those 7 spots.
I am hoping that Hartman runs today but better to be cautious, I guess. She has been putting the miles in so she's not tapered at all yet. The important thing is to get tapered down at the end of the season like she was last year.
I'm expecting some of the women to have good showings today. Something tells me that Michalak will do well and I'm looking forward to seeing where Napoleon is.

It does not look to me that Templier travelled to Wisconsin - but maybe I do not recognize her.
* definitely deep team .... two Wolfpack runners at Nuttycombe "B Race" - Briley Bickerstaff - (21:01.4) (who finished 2nd) and Daniela Scheffler - (21:11.2) (who finished 3rd) would have finished around 80 or so in the main field.
* Wolfpack ladies also ran yesterday at Pandora Farms at Virginia .... Wolfpacks' Phoebe Anderson won the 6k in 20:00 ... but ran "unattached" ... she is not listed on NC State's Cross Country roster but is listed on hte Track roster ... .perhaps she has no eligibility left for XC?
* Neither Fluer Templier nor Ellie Shea ran at either of the two meets yesterday ("A" or "B" races) .... we have seen Templier in some Instagram photos training ... but has there been any updates on Shea?
