She absolutely bossed this field. I see 10 threads on everyone else but none on her. My apologies if I missed it.
I don't see her repeating what Molly did but she's made for this event. Great debut!!

There is no love for Fiona, Alistair and Amy because they are doing things the wrong way. It’s as simple as that.

She ran an amazing race especially since it was a debut!
next time just start a thread congratulating her if you don’t see one, instead of complaining. Better thread title: Fiona MF O’Keefe!!!

Are we talking training wise? Nutrition and weight management wise? Something, ahem, darker? Why the insinuations? Its an anonymous message board.

She is not as well known so that is most likely why, it was her first ever marathon after all

Yeah, great Fiona but hate this for the Craggs.

Looking at her high school career -
Ran 5:12, 10:40, and 17:42 XC as a Freshman, placing 5th at Foot Locker West in 18:33.
Sophomore year breaks out, places 4th at NXN behind Efraimson, Baxter, and Cranny and ahead of Werner, Rainsberger, Gregory, Donaghu, and Dani Jones, among others. That track season runs 2:17, 4:49, 10:14, and 16:59 XC.
Junior year has her best year, placing 4th again at NXN behind Ostrander, Hofstadt, and Jones. Runs her high school PRs of 4:45, 10:00, 16:40 XC.
Senior year, still super consistent but places 85th at NXN after a 16:32 XC earlier in year. On the track goes 2:17, 4:46, 10:05 and one of the top high school 5000m of all-time on the track with a 15:56.84 to win USATF Juniors.
Goes on to a great collegiate career, multiple time All-American.

There was a thread while back about the nutrition part and how Alistair is ruining Rogers and O'Keeffe. I think just jealousy.

Not sure how long it will last but her win is one of the headlines on espn.com right now.

She seems like she is perfectly suited mentally to the marathon, as Natosha and Cragg both mentioned in their interviews. I think she will be around for a.good long while.

Live over here in NC and have some intel that nutritionally speaking, things are not in line/healthy. Big ups to Fiona, but am worried about how long this will last…

There's love for O'Keefe from the loyal track/field followers. She has a great story to write about.. We'll read more about it tomorrow then the love will grow but mostly from the ones that only read FB etc.
