That's good news for her. But I also want to know if she's really running for Ireland and are there any proof of her run times? What's her times in the 800 and 1500?
Agreed. Nothing she has done past her high school days shows that she can stick to what she says she wants to do.
AtalantaNYC was one of her pet projects, quickly forgotten after the intial publicity.
Triathalon a dismal failure, just a token effort.
Takes a lot of effort, commitment, and patience to be a doctor. Cain has none of those traits.
Wow. I’ve seen a lot of mean-spirited comments here, but these might be the worst. Cain was a young woman trying to find herself after going through a traumatic experience, losing her ability to continue in track, and dealing with that aftermath in a public light. It’s understandable that she might give different things a try as part of her path to discovering what she ultimately wants to do.
I can only imagine that such mean-spiritedness is rooted in your own personal disappointments. I wish both of you well in healing your wounds and clearing the negativity from your hearts.
What "traumatic experience"? Alberto telling her to lose weight when she, in fact, was too fat to run?
That is awesome. As a huge medicine and physiology nerd I hope she talks a bit more down the line about her career plans. Good for her.
This will last as along as Mary Cain's triathlon career. She doesn't have the work ethic for medicine (or for elite sports) and will quickly get bored once she sees that she isn't the best.
ffs she probably got in because she is famous. Please. Be realistic.
the acceptance rate is less than 5%.
For the med school, even tougher. 6% of applicants get an interview, 2.5% accepted.
Not that she's famous, but just that she has a good story. Like all the tough school admissions, every top candidate has grades and test scores, it's the story you present that gets you admitted.
Cain has a unique one as the all time top HS runner, a pro winning an open Usatf title, and making a world final in Moscow, and working with a controversial all time coach/program, Salazar/Nike pushing the boundaries on supplements and training.
Explain how that and your parent Doctors motivate you to go into medicine, and you have an app that will stand out in the decision process.

Why the hatred?
The reason why the angry basement dwelling incel losers on here hate her is because she's accomplished more before she was 18 than they have in their entire lives. She also wouldn't spit on them if they were on fire, so they pre-emptively adopt a pose of disrespecting her as a defensive mechanism for their own pathetic lives.
