Word has it she is not running at Duke?
Word has it she is not running at Duke?
In order to remove most of the discussion, this was already hashed out on Dyestat. The fifth page includes a response from Natasa Roetter herself, interesting read if you edit out the inside jokes.

That's too bad, but I can see her point. Sometimes people are good at something that they don't necessarily like. Imagine how good she might be if she actually LOVED running? Good for her to decide that there's more to life than running. We only live so long, and we might as well do what we really love to do while we're here; speaking of which, I need to go watch that Punky Brewster marathon.
Shame to lose such a talented runner to the marching band.
I guess if you're hearts not in it, your hearts just not in it.
Ah damn, is that on now?? I KNEW i was going to miss it...stupid work.
Anywho, going through that thread reminded why Ive only visited the dyestat boards one other time in my life. I felt like the kids from Peanuts while I was reading that: I was reading the words, but all I could comprehend was "Wah-wah, wah-wah-wah-wah."
Yes, maaa'aaam.
It took a half an hour of garbage to get to Roetter's response. I agree, I'll never go there again. Whatever, its her business, she knew the consequences, she left the team. Its her decision -- many of us wouldn't do it but we're different. I'm not sure how she didn't know that Div. I athletics are serious, but again, its her decision.
Being from Mass though, I can say she is really talented (10:25 2 Mile by herself).
I guess that makes Shannon Rowbury Duke's horse now.
Not a bad backup.
