Natalie Cook - DNS at Brooks PR- What happened to her?

i don't know, maybe she ran 30 miles last week?

Would not be surprised. She has been injured a lot in HS.

Did not line up? what am I missing?

Line up where? we need deets!

She DNS at the Brooks PR Invite

DNS. and Shea and Bednar DNF. didnt see why... at least we got a thrilling finish from Frias and Riggs. Riggs seriously on the rise here lately.

Shea got injured during the race. Not sure what happened to Bednar.

It looked like Shea may have stepped on the rail.

Just decided to shut down to focus on XC.

Has Natalie Cook said that? Or you are guessing?

she got scared of dalia

Natalie Cook simply did not want to take the two big Ls from Dalia Frias, there was no way she was gonna win vs Dalia at 3000 and 3200. She was ducking so she could have better chances to get the Gatorade award.

DNS on both 3000m and 2 mile races at Brooks PR Invitational. Dalia Frias won both and set PRs 9:14 and 9:50!

STFU and GTFO

I think so too, it is silly to say she is focusing on XC when XC is 3 months away. Dalia is in the same year as her but she did not DNS. Natalie Cook has not been running well lately and now ducks competition and big races.

Suppose it is true that a runner is not in good form due to illness, minor injury, past peak, studying for AP exams, whatever. Your solution is to travel around the country and run sub-par races and take losses because- because- why? Pro baseball players have to do that. high school runners do not.

Do you realize that Cook split 9:50 in a 5k?

Natalie Cook traveled to the meet and was going to run but pulled out this morning for some reason.

If she had wanted to shut down her season then Cook would have stayed home and not bothered to travel all the way from Texas to Seattle.

My daughter was at brooks pr and talked to Natalie. She came to Seattle but was never planning on racing. She told brooks that a couple of weeks ago. Heard she had a slight injury and ended up stopping her season about a month ago. She already took time off and is just starting to run again to prep for xc.
