I like the Cain train
I like the Cain train
I vote for Cain Train
Just FYI, Kip is Lagat's middle name...as in Bernard Kip Lagat.

The Emperor, The Black Cactus, and Kip are the only nicknames for distance runners I can think of that aren't just variations on their names.
Nicknames are a dying art in sports. I realized the other day that Miguel Cabrera doesn't even have a nickname. Reading stories about baseball in the early 20th century, nearly every player in the lineup went by a nickname.
Thread of the Day.
My vote is split between the Cain Train and Chicken Wings.
Able
Liu Cain (Like Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat)
Because she has a ridiculous kick.
I'm thinking just 'train'

Wouldn't the Cain train be a group of guys lining up to bang her?
yeah.. that's why I stayed away from that one. the mental image isnt a good one.
Many good candidates here, but it's too early for a nickname.
For instance, if she stops developing and becomes erratic and weird, then Chicken Wing will be best.
If she becomes bitchy and disliked by her competitors yet starts winning the biggest races, then Bloody Mary will be best.
Train-based nicknames typically require the establishment of legend status. For example, Big Train Johnson or the Czech Locomotive (which may be the best nickname ever, in any sport).
Major Cain
Catch me if you Cain
The Cainonball
cain: "Jordan Hasay's daughter"
Hurri-cane is absolutely spot on but since it's taken I'll go with
Mary "I'll show you" Cain
as in Cain and Able or close enough to I'll show you pain

If you have to explain it that much, it doesn't work.
Mary "Rain on dem' hoes" Cain.
Cain't Touch This
End of thread
No Cain to gain.
No pain no Cain.
Or my favorite bird, the Whooping Cain.

All these nickname suggestions are lame though.

I can see the announcer calling out as she bolts to the lead:
"And there goes Mary Catch Me if You Cain!"
