A single lapse in concentration and she could blow out a knee
What does "blow out a knee" mean? Blood and tendons flying everywhere?
She is lifting well, with a spotter, with plenty of excess power. Worst case = sit down, and cannot get back up without help.
If only most runners lifted like this....
Someone really thought Jordan hasay was squatting 400 pounds?! I know men don’t know jack about women and the weights they lift but that’s mind bogglingly dumb.

I hear Caitlyn J is training for the heptathlon.
I saw Geb do weights in his gym in Ethiopia. They were mostly lighter weight with more reps on nautilus machines. Including leg presses. My guess is that lots of great runners do weight workouts.

We always did "brush and go" and never actually put the weight on the box--cripes, my back hurts (for real) just watching how she did that!
Different things work for different people, and if that works for her I'm glad, but would you CSCS types really coach someone to sit down, as she did?
I permanently injured my right SI joint (for which I have had three ablations, thus far, successfully) simply by sitting down hard and awkwardly on a chair--with no weight on my traps; I would tend to agree with you.
The purpose of a box squat is to develop power out of the hole, out of the bottom position. This is done by eliminating the stretch-shortening cycle. There are other ways to do this such as pin squats/rack squats. Westside Barbell popularized box squats maybe a decade ago in the powerlifting community.
My question here is why? She's doing a box squat with ankle flexion. If the weight is challenging as a squat then why the ankle flexion? If instead it's more along the lines of a power exercise with a lower weight then why the box squat? Why not just do regular squats with a lower weight and added ankle flexion.....Almost like a jump squat.
Like any squat variation to be safe and effective you must remain tight. This is lost on most clients. You must remain painfully tight to ensure the bar travels along the right path. With a box squat it's even moreso as there is a tendency to relax when you sit down.
A distance runner just doesn't need much complexity when it comes to strength training. It could take you 4-5yrs to really get competent in the squat.

She just posted a video of her hex bar squat and says 185 lbs for that.
5, 10 or 11 pound bumpers.
So she is lifting either 75, 105, or 111.
If she was lifting 295 she’d be a world record powerlifter.
Those are 10 lb plates.
It looks like she is especially focused on the final phase of the lift, in particular, a forceful extension of the knees and hips (explosive glute contraction) by attempting a vertical jump, resulting in the heels leaving the ground, possibly facilitated by calf contraction.

Correction.
I said the three outside plates look to be 10# bumper plates, and I'd guess the inside plate is a 25# bumper, but let's say it's a 45# normal plate. That'd come to
10*3*2+45*2+45=195.
Then, if the inside plate is actually 25#, that comes to a total of 155#.
So, I would revise my assessment: she could benefit from becoming a little stronger.
You have to guess because some 3rd world countries don't have color coordinated plates. Here they have around at least since the 1970s. Red 25kg, blue 20kg, yellow 15kg, green 10 kg and grey 5kg.
Very surprised to see her squatting on to a bench/box. I'veneer thought nor been taught that the was a good idea because of the compound pressure on the spine.....

You clearly don´t know what bumper plates is.
