Is Anna Rohrer Update?

One of my favorite runners in the NCAA of all-time. Did she give up the ghost after Notre Dame? Working?

Ever use Google? Geez!

She ran the local Turkey Trot and has a nice Instagram post about it. Not hard to find this info if you check her Insta, but she's trying to coach and mentor: https://www.next-level-racing.com/

Sort of odd. She joined a pro team more than a year ago but hasn't raced once. And now she is coaching by providing both mental and physical training. She had some confidence issues in college as well as injuries. Is she on a contract that provides living expenses and she is trying to make a bit more through coaching?

Curious about Mark Carroll also. He was making $150k as a college coach along with his wife who is coaching at Iowa State. Is he making that much now? Is he still married? His wife just got promoted at Iowa State and is doing well. I think she got boosted to about $125k.

Man, I raced Carroll in college at the University of Florida indoors we were there on Christmas Break! He ran like a 3:54 that day and I didn't sub-4... didn't know his wife coached while they were separated? Crazy.

Loved Rohrer as well. Gritty as hell. Just goes to show that a degree from ND means nothing. Would've thought she'd be an accountant/CPA by now at a major firm.

Who's the guy she's with in the second pic on her insta?

I don't think Rohrer's current status indicates anything about the value of an ND degree. Not everyone chooses the most lucrative and secure path even if they can do so.

She recently ran a 1:13:48 half in Carmel, IN. Apparently without specifically training for it.
She also has her own coaching/mentoring business and is a mindset coach at a company called Dreamful.

QFE

I don't know how to frame this. It is probably coming across the wrong way but I cannot think of any other way to put it.

ND is a great school. If she would be front page running news today, I would not ask this question. Clearly, OP is suggesting she might not be. What did she do what that education? Is the definition of an Athletic Scholarship that you pay nothing, you leave with nothing?

I know this is coming across as mean and I apologize. I just have found no other way of asking this question about running. This isn't football or basketball. You sort of have to have a plan B if running isn't your plan B.

Ran an OT qualifer at the Green Bay Marathon on May 15. 2:36:31 for 2nd female and 6th overall. $1,500

She is doing Boston in seven weeks

Boston 2:30:52, new PR by six minutes.

22nd place, 7th American

and started from Wave 1, not even with pros.

Apparently running may also be her plan B. Plenty of pros choose to stay in the sport as coaches. Ritz, Shalane, Eyestone and Henes come to mind. These days it's a pretty comfortable career. Business and professional route not for everyone. I think also to coach in NCAA, bachelor's + coach cert required.

After today, she may get more legs out of plan A, at.least though 2024 trials.

Just saw someone repost her IG post this morning. Very cool to see her run well under the radar.

Is Rohrer still running for BAA High Performance team or did she run Boston Marathon unattached (or for a different team)?
