And? In the NCAAs there is one race for all the marbles and everything else you do is noise. The key is being able to run that race. The attrition rate due to injury in this sport and especially in this age group is substantial. And you do not always recover from injury so seamlessly. Point is saying that someone in her age group is allegedly ahead of her when that athlete is not even running at Nationals is silly. Maybe next season, maybe not.
