She left her pro coach and improved dramatically. Another putter also left the same coach and qualified with a pr also.

Ealey's first professional breakthrough came in 2019 when she had the second best throw in the world plus 8 of the top 10 throws for Americans. She missed most people's radar after a poor showing at Worlds that summer. She was a favorite to make the Olympic team in 2020, but Covid derailed those plans. Unfortunately, late 2020/early 2021 she got a bad case of Covid and was not in good form at the 2021 Trials. But, yes, another change in coaches led to another jump in performance including indoor silver and outdoor gold 2022.

she was also sprint state champ in HS.
Plus maturity. Chase simply got stronger. She is a superb athlete and improved while others aged.
