She won the Commander's Cup one year.
Jordan Hasay's professional career was kind of short - did she enjoy it?

I've ranted on this before, but I thought she was terribly misserved by being moved up to the marathon so early. She was an OT finalist in the 1500 as a high schooler!
Yes, I realize that the income opportunities were probably greatest at the marathon distance, but I have to wonder what might have been if she'd spent some time as a pro at 5,000 and 10,000, maybe even stay in touch with the 1500.
Seems like she's doing just fine now, though. I wish her well.
She was terribly misserved being such a focus from an early age at Trials by NBC. I never thought the spotlight matched her reserved personality. It seemed like she enjoyed her time at U of O and running for a team but there was always pressure. Her time under the heavy hand of Salazar had to take a toll. This sport and everything that comes with it demolishes people and moves on to the next.

T think her career fell apart after the Salazar Situation a few years ago, I believe her first race after that was the Chicago Marathon and she was seen walking and visibly crying at the 3 Mile Mark and dropped out, which could also have been because of the Salazar Situation.
Yeah I remember passing her and she was definitely crying. Didn't seem to be limping or anything so who knows. If I remember correctly, Salazar was banned the weekend before that race? I don't think she ever had another decent result after that

Hasay is now coaching marathon runners. This appears to be her full time job.

Did she enjoy it? How would I know? How would anyone here know?
I hope so.
What a great talent. And she worked hard and seemed like the kind of athlete who wanted to do things the right way.
I’ll always pull for that kind of runner.
She also had many great performances she can be proud of.
Does that amount to being everything you or I would have expected? I’m not going to bother with trying to answer that.
Whatever you say beyond that may tell us all a lot more about you than it does about her.
You’re right. None of us really know exactly how she felt about her running career, but from what people saw, she always tried her best and gave it everything she had. She worked really hard and seemed like she truly loved the sport, even when things did not go perfectly for her. She had some big races and special moments that a lot of runners would be proud of.
I think it is really cool that she did things the right way and stayed true to who she was. Not every professional career lasts super long, but she still inspired a lot of people and that means something important too. I hope she looks back and feels proud of everything she did because she definitely made an impact on the sport and gave a lot of young runners someone positive to look up to.This post was edited 1 minute after it was posted.90 -

What's she do now? She still needs to earn a paycheck...
There are tons of opportunities for super fit people to make money. Personal training gigs are big. Former runner Julie Stackhouse, a mid-tier national level runner, worked as a corporate personal trainer. There's also coaching and other opportunities.
She can follow the Nick Symonds path. The sky is the limit to those truly talented when it comes to making money these days. I'm sure she is doing just fine.
Coaching won't be as lucrative unless you're on a college staff. Coaching at the high school level would usually require that you also do some teaching duties if you want to make good money. Just being a coach won't cut it unless you're coaching a sport that brings in a lot of money and your team is exceptional like high school football.

JH had a good career. I remember her from her CIF days many times in L.A. I like her.

I'm guessing she enjoyed the highs but frustrated by the injury cycle she ended up in, so has a mix of emotions about it.
That said she seems to have a good head on her shoulders so I imagine she's doing ok now

A few years back (Roughly April 2021), I was a HSer living in the Provo area, where Hasay and others were doing an altitude stint. Through a friend, I got invited to come out and watch the workout/ WU and CD with the group.
At that time Hasay was definitely past her peak, but was killing a workout and asking her coach (Sonia O’Sullivan) if she could do more, with a smile on her face. Just something I thought was interesting in the context of this thread.

Her HS coach (a medical Dr) was excellent. He has had great success coaching the Calpoly Club team to numerous NIRCA titles.

Hasay did an interview very recently on the Ali on the Run show (podcast) where many of the questions brought up here can be answered.
She is busy coaching alongside her husband, is semi-interested in returning to the marathon professionally, and is expecting her first child very soon. Seems to be doing great and reflects positively on her career.

Do things the right way? Who was her coach but Salazar.
