What's the plan for track season? When's the next race? Looks like the 1500, will she be running any other races?
Yeah I think people underestimated what a good athlete she is. And also that all in all she was pretty smart about things in high school
Anyway unfortunately it tough for young female runners. Just look at how many freshman girls have been able to have full seasons. Almost none of the top Runners have had full seasons
But she did great she was the top freshman in cross country by 40 seconds. And so far top freshman on the track 2. Is she racing this weekend?
katelyn wont be running any other races, 1500m will be her only event
im here to remind everyone to not expect katelyn to run 5k or 10k in track
lets remember that katelyn doesnt really run long distances in track
she only runs 800m, 4x800m, mile, 2 mile and dmr on track and nothing else
her 15:37 on 5k was her ONLY 5k track race in HS
she literally just ran a 5k just to break and set a new national record
so, katelyn will only be running middle distance events in track, well she did qualify for ncaa indoors 3000m but she didnt run to keep her legs fresh for the xc championships (that was smart)
Ultimately, her best distances will be 5000 and 10000 meters. She is running well but not much faster than she did as a Sophomore in HS. She seemed like a future Olympian then and hopefully, staying healthy will get her back on that path.
