Efraimson 2:01:13 tonight in Portland

Cranny should have gone pro and kept training with her coach in CO. Milt is going to ruin her.

Actually, better idea... Fire Milt and hire her HS coach.

This puts her # 2 for high school girls

That's not true.

Not true? I was so far off I wasn't even wrong!

Besides the obvious -- Wilson, Decker and Gallagher -- who else did I forget about?

Talk about screwing the pooch.

Well, we will see! Track and Field News, the new socialist movement, will undoubtedly block Alexa from this list. Old fu#&@%$!

800 METERS

1:59.51 *Mary Cain (Bronxville, New York) 2013

2:00.07 Kim Gallagher (Upper Dublin, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania) 1982

2:00.91 Ajee’ Wilson (Neptune, New Jersey) 2012

I love how this NCAA coach is clinging to a 4-7 year window. So, if Alexa makes 3 world teams in the next 4 years, then and only then the real debate can happen. Yikes.

Alexa may have just answered all of the questions about going pro. If we examine the NCAA lists as they sit now:

800m Run

Alexa Efraimson SR High School 2:01.13

1 Goule, Natoya SR-4 Clemson 2:01.32

2 Williams, Chrishuna SR-4 Arkansas 2:01.61

3 Rogers, Raevyn FR-1 Oregon 2:01.67

1500m Run

Alexa Efraimson SR in High School 4:09.43

1 O'Connor, Leah SR-4 Michigan State 4:11.04

2 Houlihan, Shelby SR-4 Arizona State 4:11.06

3 Quigley, Colleen JR-3

Chrishuna Williams is one to watch, she ran her first 800 in 2014, and had been a 52 seconds for 400 runner, this is her first year at 800, so maybe at NCAA or USATF she can go under 2.

What does this have to do with Alexa? Ajee is a phenomenal runner and this site is full of her fans however I would say that she ought to get more recognition. However part of the reason she is not spoken about as much is because she, herself is understated and not a big self-promoter. Anyway Alexa's main event is not the 800 it is the 1500. This is why her new PR is such a big deal. She ran a world class time in an event that is not her primary one. As good as Ajee is, I'm not sure she'd be able to break, I don't know 4:15 in the 1500.

On another note, Ajee Wilson was finishing 5th at Worlds and running low 1:58's at the same age this chick is now.

Ajee is a 400/800 type.
