Try listeninh to the interview. The opportunity to run at USATF, if recovered, takes precedence over worrying about the less important cross country. And she said she already gave up soccer due to track.

She said in the interview that she got super run down and sick running cross country last year. It’s nice for building endurance, but not worth injury or illness.

I know she is a competitive spirit, but it’s silly for an athlete of that caliber to do XC. Train and really give it a go senior year and see if she is the next GOAT … her times are phenomenal and potential unlimited.

Xc for her is not really about xc. It's base training for winter and spring track. And it obviously worked. Her times this year were much faster than last year.

I listened to the dyestat interview. She said she got into the hurdles because her coach encourages all his athletes to try it.
She is still learning how to run longer distances. If her coach encourages her to try the steeplechase, maybe she could become the greatest steepler this country has ever produced.
If she does go that direction, I hope she gives the steeple technique that the best East Africans (e.g., Yavi) are using a try (two-legged hop), which gets them over quick with less energy wasted. I know that suggestion goes against the western technique that not atypically ends up in injury at some point.

You’re just repeating what was said earlier in the thread by the guy you were trying to argue with.

Wha-…? How is it creepy? It is the same as with any other HS athlete, male or female. No one is sexualizing her.
The creepy one here is you.114 -

A girl who runs 51.1 in the 400 as a high school junior is not going to be doing the steeplechase.

that would seem clear to even me!

The latest development with Natalie Dumas is that she backed out of the meet that she said she was going to run this weekend. (THE USATF National Youth Championships in New York.)
Also, to answer people who wanted to know how old she is, her entry into this weekend's meet said that she is still 16.
Her coach said that Natalie will be running at the USA Championships the end of July, although he wasn't sure which event(s) she would be running in.
He didn't say if she was planning to run in any other meets between now and then. Are there any good pro meets in the NY/NJ area in July?

Dumas's times are incredibly impressive for sure, especially at 16. But Sydney Sutton is pretty notable herself. I was just looking her times up because of this thread and she has a tremendous future, an 11.90/22.70/51.23/56.04 are listed for her on Maryland milesplit. The 200 is already good enough to have qualified for the NCAA final (just barely, 22.71 was the last qualifier) and finished 6th in a really strong final this year (won in 21.83!).
Mike Holloway certainly saw the potential at UF, where she'll be attending soon.

Lost in the Natalie Dumas excitement was the fact that if Sydney Sutton had run just a few hundredths of a second faster in the 400 and 400H she would have won FOUR events at New Balance. (2 individual events and 2 relays.)

That's a big if!

If you listen to the interview, I think what is missed is the 203 800 she did after the 400h for her team in the relay as well! They ended up 2nd.
Around 5:50 time stamp.
