Colleen Quigley Updatee

It's a tough day for her because she is worried that attention will be on actual runners and not on her and how inspirational her fast braids are. She should just go away.

Couldn’t it just be a “tough day” in that the track world is celebrating the steeplechase team she isn’t on? I’m sure that’s tough to see.

I have had to miss races due to injury and it sucks so bad, especially when you were in shape and thinking you could do well, and worse when you needed it to qualify for nationals etc. Being injured and missing out on being able to qualify for the Olympic team... that's a really hard day. I'd be feeling like hell. Maybe it's something else, but for me that would be a tough day.

My guess is that she will announce that she is taking a break from high level running to let her mind/body heal. She will leave Portland and move to L.A. this fall, start making moves towards a post running media career, and will do motivational speaking focused on mental health and positive image for young women (sponsored by Lululemon!)

Spring 2022 brings an announcement that a SoCal winter, time to reflect, and inspiration from thousands of fans has re-energized her and she is focused on getting the very best out of herself on the track again. (No promise to make the WC squad, set an AR, etc. - just loving the sport again and BIG TIME GIRL POWER!).

My guess she she ran out of bath bubbles and Amazon can't get there until Sunday.

Who cares. She is self-absorbed and more about being woke than actually competing. Irrelevant has-been.

Hang in there Colleen. You got more left.

Pretty hard to move any further left.

Ok boomer

I see it all the time.

There are popular females with average times but they look pretty, and get tons of insta and FB followers.

But if you are an average looking female or male but run well nobody cares :(

Social media is like HS all over again. I personally hate it, as it's all fluff, and not about actual results (in fairness, some men and women who do run fast like Sage Canaday do get publicity).

I'm an old-school guy. Bernie Kosar of the Browns wasn't a pretty QB, as he threw an ugly sidearm vs. Elway and Marino, but it got there and he was a brilliant QB. I always remember he had this quote about doing the little things right in life. Sometimes style doesn't matter. Results DO matter!

“How you do little things is how you do all things,” Kosar said. “So many times today in society, we start thinking about the bigger picture too far down the road. We forget to do what’s right in front of us—taking care of the little things. When you have the type of mindset where you’re results-oriented, that helps unify and bring us all together as a team, as a family.”

lol, if Colleen Quigley doesn’t have “fast times” then no one does.

This

I mean look at Pappas

Not really that good looking at all. Backdoored her way into the Olympics and now makes a bunch of money

I'm sure Quigley is going for that she never seemed like she was going to run this trial from the Nike incident on.

Oh no you didn't!

Maybe she's going to get some tattoos and hit the ultra scene.

She probably had a burrito as well and the results were about to come out.

Calling it now…Colleen will become a Peloton run instructor in the next 3 years. Perfect career move - pays well and relies on big social media presence

She's starving for attention.

If she was really about women empowerment she could have graciously congratulated the steeplers and given props to Val.

But nope. She needs validation and likes and comments. She'll likely pull a pappas.

Shows how insecure and lacks authenticity.

Any marketing experts out there who know how the number of Instagram followers, say, can translate into dollar amounts if you're pushing someone's products? I just saw a list of the "15 most followed athletes at Iowa State," regardless of sport and it gives the number of followers for those athletes, but the article didn't touch on what that could mean in terms of earnings.
