One thing has nothing to do with the other. Anyone who thinks this is on the level is smoking crack.
Dumb take. Birke Haylom (14:24) and Aleshign Baweke (14:25) are the same age as Jane. If they can run that fast, why shouldn't the USA be able to produce someone the same age who grew up at altitude and whose father was a D1 All-American runner who can run 14:44 while clean?
Other notable athletes who ran personal bests at age 19 include Chebet (14:46) and Gidey (14:45). Let's enjoy what we are witnessing here with Jane. It is remarkable.
14:44 5000M indoor. Blows away NCAA outdoor/indoor records by . . . a lot. 8 seconds. Instantly the GOAT of NCAA women’s distance runners. [correction: “Parker Valby”]
The young lady who beat her convincing at nationals two weeks ago is still probably the GOAT of NCAA distance running given her titles and performances to date, but Jane certainly could pass her. Can’t wait for indoor nationals. I hope Jane she keeps progressing.
No NCAA athlete has ever ran a 5000M on the track as fast as Hedengren did today. Ergo she broke the NCAA record today by 7 seconds. At 5000M she is the best NCAA athlete ever. Times don’t lie.

But Chebet and Gidey didn't train nearly as seriously as Jane at 19. And I'm still unconvinced Jane will ever run faster than 14:10 with her physique, just too tall to be efficient.

Put Jenny Barringer on the BU track with super shoes and pacing lights, and she could run the same time.
all the drug morons are likely trumpers who need to rile up the conspiracy freaks because they still can't believe someone is better than they are (just like daddy moron trump) and hate to admit that hard work and proper genetics can work wonders. all you losers need to go away for a very long time!!

You’re “unconvinced” she will run faster than 14:10, a time that very few women in the entire world have ever run? Even with “perfect physique” there is no certainty she could ever run that fast.

Hedengren’s teammates live at altitude, and trained using the same philosophies as her, yet the fastest ran 10:20. Hedengren’s only advantage over other NCAA runners is having incredible talent.
Come now. Without Valby there is no Hedengren. Valby showed what you could get away with and destroyed the no doping in college taboo, and Jane and her connections ran with it. Unless we are still going with a genetic anomaly that strangely manifested itself when she turned 18. Brave new world. And not worth following.
Your little princess, Katelyn T., just sucks and you can't stand that. Monson ran under 14:20 and your little angel cant even run under 15.
Agree, ran like Harold Norpoth sitting behind a teenage Prefontaine to kick away to the win last Spring.
You're showing our age.
Or showing he read the main Prefontaine biography, which mentions that story prominently and goes on to talk about how mad Pre was about that race. There’s even a story about how a teammate trolled him about it on a training run afterward.
