Look up Mary Wazeter. High school phenom from the late 70’s who was running with the like of Joanie Benoit as a teenager. Went on to to become paralyzed in a self inflicted incident as a college freshman running for Georgetown. Wild story that I’m surprised more people don’t know about.
I just looked her up and it looks like she passed away in late 2024 from sepsis! https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/mary-wazeter-mannhardt-obituary?id=58054277 I knew the story of Kathy Ormsby, but not hers. RIP Mary Wazeter

^ this. In the modern era, easily the most disappointing storyline. Punked out of XC at Oregon in his first season, leaving his teammates in the lurch. Switched to the tri and had a career-ending crash, then went ding-dong M*GA. What a total waste of talent.
