Parker Valby confirms she’s gone pro

Yup, like a Trump debate, you never shut up.

You obviously were not a runner and you don't understand where a kick comes from. If Valby runs a 32:00 10K, she woukd have a huge kick. Did you watch Tuohy's last race? She died because she went out too fast. But if she had gone out at 15:30 pace, she would have had a great kick to finish in 15:15. A kick comes from endurance, not speed. Do you think Frmke Bol could kick in a 15:30 5K? Yet she would crush Valby in 800 and below.

how fast can she run a quarter?

57

You're guessing.

You can't ever seen to get that this is a discussion site, which means having to read opinions you don't like. Something you can't cope with.

You are wrong. Without speed there is no kick. She has no kick because she has no speed.

Is a professional announcement coming in the near future? Kind of odd to post a "goodbye" to the Gators in September when she has been done for over three months. Crossing my fingers in it adidas -- Valby, Wiley, and Kessler will be the face of US running for the next 10 years. The three stripes will get MANY USATF titles.

I absolutely agree. Kessler and Wiley will dominate the 800/1500 while Valby will do the same in the 5000/10,000. Fisher has the 5000/10,000 for now but Blanks and Wolfe will pass by.

Only reason to delay signing is to get the Nike contract with the ability to match to expire.

Chances of signing with Nike have to be near zero at this point.
