Ellie Shea college?

That is what Tuohy fans do.

She’s not going to NC State. I dont know what’s with people and thinking

fast girl = nc state bound

i see it on every post about someone being in the transfer portal or being an elite hs prospect. Not everyone is going to nc state. If people on this thread want a realistic answer, she’ll probably go to an Ivy, and won’t make a public announcement about it. Ivy athletes dont sign NLI, so she wouldnt be announced till summer 2024 by the school.

My son signed an NLI in January. His school put nothing out until July.

I should also say that schools posting about their incoming class isn’t like mandatory or anything. I was moreso just explaining why Ivys don’t make posts about their classes till much later.

I wonder where she’s going to commit to

If it's not Harvard (or, though less likely, another Ivy) I'll be utterly shocked. Nothing else would make sense given how she's gone about things or from anything I've ever heard about her.

She is on the entries list for NBIN, and I'm really interested to see how she performs there and at World XC this month.

Sadie Englehardt just committed to NC State. Big win for Wolfpack.

Stop posting false information. Sadie Englehardt herself posted on Instagram that she is going to NC State.

You want to report a fact to a mod and pretend that it's false? Why don't you just report yourself to a mod for being nuts, and ask the mod to delete your own false post?

Didn't you mean the reverse? Fast runners go to NAU BECAUSE they will go pro. This explains why there are so many pro team's in flagstaff and essentially use NAU's facilities (Baloga and Churchill are two examples of this). Why wouldn't a runner like Shea not choose NAU and follow Baloga/Churchill example?

No. There are 20 women on the team. I guarantee that you have never heard of 15 of them. The majority will not go pro. Most kids who go there have aspirations of going pro but are left with a meaningless degree in psychology from NAU.

She is too smart for that. She will follow the money.

I'd think that if a runner totally disregards academics and chooses a school only for running purposes, NAU isn't the automatic choice, especially for teenage kids. I'd think the social climate, how they do away from home, and all sort of other factors might matter more than just a good coach and being at altitude. I wouldn't say that St. Pierre would of had a better career had she gone to NAU instead of New Hampshire, or Mackay had a better career had she gone to NAU instead of Binghamton.

Does anybody know if she visited any schools, BTW? Which ones?

8 months later and we still don’t know!

Well, Shea competed at NBNI, so at least she's not currently injured. But now that indoor season is over and she still hasn't publicly committed, I'll just reiterate:

She found a training arrangement that no doubt contributed to her incredible success for 2 or 3 years. It appears she has now exhausted the benefits of that approach. FWIW, I would strongly suggest she find a college program that doesn't mainly reinforce what she's already been doing (or allow her to on her own), but rather helps her become the healthiest, most balanced version of herself, with her long-term durability in mind. I do hope there's still a spot for her in such a program for next year.

She just ran NB 1 mile in 4:48. She’s now got an9:45 3000m (at BU) and a 4:48 mile. She’s been back training for 2 months. Is it too early to say Has she flatten-out and/or not improving?

15th at World U20 XC and 1st for USA. First 14 from Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda.

Gault should have asked about college.

First non-African, not that it matters.
