Yes they do. Go ahed and plot a bunch of women from 16-20, and you will predict Valby to be a top American over the next 3 years.

We can all tell that.

The tell us based on 3 interviews, precisely how many miles she runs.

If that is all you look at that Olemomoi and Stearns will crush Valby, sorry
Your math is not good. Valby and Stearns had the same 5000 PR in 2017 but Valby has a faster one today and will likley have a much faster one within 6 weeks.

Lol. Stearns has improved way more over the last year.

You must be a relatively new track fan. Those of us with more knowledge and experience than you know that the rate that women improve in their teens and early 20's is all over the place.
Olemomoi was running 16's in outdoors and just dropped a 15:17
Markezich ran 9:10 and just ran 8:50 3k
Valby not the only one improving, and not at the fastest rate. But I guess you want to look at times from 5 years ago... good luck with that
Solinski didn't even teach Valby about tangents. Any high school coach can do better.
I’ll tell you what, that girl could join the curling team and I wouldn’t think less of her.
I am 62 and was a coach of a team that qualified for nationals 6 times while I was there. I coached one Olympian.
Improvement from age 16-20 gives the best indication of future success.

A look at current top USA ladies would show that improvement between 22 and 23 is the biggest predictor of success. That and a fondness for tex-mex cuisine.

And yet you still think that who will become a top American professional can be predicted by a girls teenage years? Baffling.

For female athletes? No, sorry you are wrong.
In a recent podcast with Emma Abrahamson, PV said she was at one point running 65mi p/week and ended up injured.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
