Katelyn Tuohy's 5-year plan

katelyn is 20 and is about to break 15-minute barrier, has 4:06 (4:25 mile) pr

schweizer broke 15 as a pro runner

ran 4:06 as a 22 year old

ran 14:45 as a 23 year old

saying she wont make the olympics despite her showing signs of continuous development is just being plain jealous and insecure over her

yet rojo just became a podcaster

people said katelyn won't win an ncaa title, so she did

and now that shes snatched 4 titles, the goal posts moves to she wont make it to the olympics

umm, u know the trend.

Elitist nonsense.

She was thinking of her future, and not yours. If you go out to the outside world, many non-stanford graduates earn more than stanford graduates. Welcome to 2022!

You deserve the 130 down votes.

JBS called her NC State year "my year abroad."

Some people have all the talent.

Funny that her principal said a guy was the valedictorian.

Exactly. This is what jealous losers like 'smarty not' just don't get. If KT quit running TOMORROW, she's had a better career than 99.9% of all high school kids could ever dream of having. If you took 10000 aspiring young women runners in 8th grade, laid out Katelyn's career in front of them and said "Sign on the dotted line and this is yours", maybe 1 would gamble and say "I could do better". KT is a young person who has shown by her work ethic, not just her talent, that she will be successful in any endeavor she chooses, no matter what it is. Doesn't matter whether it's Stanford, NC State, Podunk U, she chose a school where she is healthy, happy, running fast, and extraordinarily successful. And whenever her running career ends, whether that's after she graduates, or after making 3 Olympic teams, does any rational person think she couldn't pretty much do whatever the hell she wanted? Be on a team with her in a business endeavor where she brings the same work ethic, the same team spirit, the same willingness to share credit with the people working with her? Sign me up. People like 'smarty not' are just sad, and so so jealous. Go back to the basement, loser.

for those who did not see my sarcasm......well....

You make a decent point, but there are two things missing.

1. Not all state schools are the same, just like not all privates are the same. A math/CS double major from Berkeley won't be screened from any (trading) jobs due to his college*.

2. The "good jobs" in finance can only be found from going to a top college or fulfilling multiple quotas. The "good jobs" in trading only look at (I'm not even exaggerating) 15 colleges. If you want one of them, you have to go to a top college.

* there are a couple of firms that only hire from about 3-5 schools.

this is the first time ever where the reigning high school national champion (NXN 2019) is the reigning NCAA champion.

I was at 4:10 when I broke 15. I don't believe that anyone can run a sub 15 5k off of only a 4:25 mile.

Bob Kennedy was also the reigning high school champion and the reigning NCAA champion back in November 1989.

The name of the school on the diploma matters plenty in hiring/promoting, so regardless of how much one learns, always go for the name school. The education you get is totally up to the student but I can say, as a Stanford grad, that it was my fellow students that I learned the most from, and they were of a uniformly high intellect. I assumed that's what most people were like when I went out into the world, but I found that those kind of people are rare and I stood out like a sore thumb in what I now understood about the world and the people in it,
