I would be surprised if she uses it. She's graduating. She'll go pro next year.
Thanks, didn’t know she was graduating. Is she only doing three academic years, or was she there in 2020-2021, without competing that year, or maybe she transferred in?
She is doing the full four years. Ivy League did not compete her freshman year, so she just trained, and you cannot red shirt at an Ivy League school. She could transfer to a non-Ivy for a final year as others some do, but in her case, I doubt she will. More likely she'd start grad school at an Ivy and be a volunteer coach or something, or just go pro elsewhere.

Thanks. Makes sense a sponsor would want to see her in their gear if she competes in the Olympics this year.
Somewhat amazing this girl was not fast enough to compete for Harvard (of all places) as a freshman, but wins the 1500m Outdoors title her 3rd year of collegiate training, and now is as fast as Tuohy was in college, and hopes to get another one or two NCAA championships before leaving school this summer. Didn’t Arthur Lydiard say “Champions are Everywhere?”

She couldn't compete for Harvard, as Harvard did not compete during that covid year at all.

You're still largely correct though in that few would have predicted the heights to which she would have ascended!
I think a legitimate question is whether Graham Blanks and Maia Ramsden would be the stars they now are if it weren't for the covid year in which Harvard did not complete. Graham took the year off rather than enrolling, and trained under Gibby's guidance in Flagstaff with most of the team. Maia enrolled and trained (also under Gibby, of course), building mileage, without competing in collegiate races. Impossible to know what would have happened without that year of devoted training, but it's interesting to think about, given that both have far exceeded what most would predict from their high school careers.

Not sure where you get that... she was a 4x U20 national champion for New Zealand as a prep, had a lot of success prior to college, showed a lot of potential...

To be fair, 2:10 and 4:30 are good times. I ran those times in high school myself far before senior year pre-super shoes and no one was predicting I'd be an NCAA Champ, and I wasn't. They are good times, but not great. The writer misunderstood why Ramsden did not run freshman year, but she was certainly not considered a huge high school star with those times. She has over performed.

Thanks; as explained above, Harvard didn’t compete at all that year.
Here are their Cross Country Championships placement in 2021:
Markezich….11th….19:38.0
Tuohy….15th….19:43.1
Valby….27th….19:50.3 (was tripped couple times and went to the ground)
