Elise stearns did amazing no doubt, but she entered college as a freshman in fall of 2019. You can't look at eligibility years to figure out someone's age. She is probably older than Valby & Tuohy; she was a year ahead of them in HS.

This would suggest it was actually 2018.
Maybe OP saw that Stearns’s TFRRS profile lists her as a sophomore, and knowing that Cook is old for her grade drew this BS conclusion.
Regardless, Stearns is obviously a very promising prospect.

Eh never mind, she definitely graduated in 2019 since that’s an XC bio. My bad. All the same, faulty premise.

Based on that, it’s 2019. XC is in the fall.

Hilda (Chebet) Olemomoi was the top freshman finisher. She was a juco transfer and is listed as a sophomore on Alabama website. She competed Juco under Hilda Chebet. No idea how old she is.
Her times from Juco were not that fast and would not have predicted a top 6 finish; she has seen a massive improvement in XC also.
Excited to see what she does as well.

Stearns is 21
Tuohy and Valby are 20
Cook is 20
There are no age groups in college but for you Tuohy fans ahow keep trying to create them, Cook ran a faster 5k at 18 than Tuohy and she ran faster in XC at 19 than Tuohy.

Chebet is only 18.

That would mean she entered juco at 17 as an international student. I think more likely she is older than that.

Cook is 19. She is 14 months younger than Tuohy.

You are correct. My mistake.

That's her official age. She turns 19 in one week.

And Hutchins ran 5 seconds faster at Runninglane at 16 years old without wearing dragonflies than nearly 19 year old Cook with dragonflies…
What’s your point?

The fact is the point. Ask the OP what the point is and he wasn't even correct. Ask Tuohy fans what the point is when they go on and on about Tuohy being faster than pro runners at younger ages.

Could be. I know that is what it says, but international students are generally older and not starting US college at 17. Birthdays have been wrong before.
If she is 18 (or 19, 20) still a very impressive finish.

Cook's birthday (for example) is (I think) incorrect on world athletics... listed as Jan 1 2003 which would mean she turns 20 in a month but I think her birthday is may...

Cook was born 14 May 2003. Hutchins was born 26 March 2004. So 8 months apart.
Their Runninglane times would be 1 year and 8 months apart age wise.
Trying to make it look like 3 years is a bit much.
