The girl is just entering middle school so doesn't have any history with the middle school coach yet and the parents are seeking out advice from an insecure newbie high school coach. Run! They're already playing you against the middle school coach. Expect a lot of trouble in a few years.
I hope you are wrong. I think it has more to do that I coached her aunt when I was a sprint coach, and taught her mom in class a few years ago. That. coupled with the fact that the MS team gets a new coach every two to three years means I am a little more of an "expert" than the other coach. I was also a XC runner in HS.
