America’s Next Great Running Hope, and One of the Cruelest Twists in Youth Sports

Guys it's not rocket science! Girls develop breasts, bigger hips, their body regains fat due to hormonal changes,
All as a natural process to get ready for child rearing ability
Again women go through puberty and develop characteristics that make them less likely to be fast distance Runners and more prone to injury
I made it very clear in my original post that it wasn't every girl, yes there are exceptions, and I also was clear that once they adapt to the changes they can start getting faster again
And that's where the pro Runners come they come from the girls who get faster in college after they've gone through puberty
Yes girls can improve throughout high school and through our College but 95% of the time it's not a steady line
Boys develop changes that continuously make them faster as they mature,
There's tons of girls who PR as a freshman in high school or a sophomore and then get noticeably slower Junior and Senior year
This is very rare for a boy except for injury or illness it doesn't happen because they develop breasts and hips
How many boys do you know that gets slower in high school because they become womanly with large breasts and big hips
Finally just look at girls who run their fastest times as an 8th grader or 9th grader
How many boys do you see in the nxn field as a 7th grader or an 8th grader. Sorry if you can't understand the basic facts of puberty and male and female development there's something wrong
Again I'm not saying it's every girl and boy but I'm saying the vast majority have to deal with it to some degree
