long way to go, but hard to see how anyone beats nau women at xc nationals this fall (assuming Stearns is back).
Congrats to her. Her progression is amazing:
2022: 16:06
2023: 15:33 (33s improvement)
2024: 15:17 (16s improvement and the season is still young).
...somewhat joking but another thread says Ellie Shea will be training in flagstaff for an”GAp year” - bet she joins NAU. Any status on Stutzman?
Fwiw I haven't seen Stearns around campus or town or running with anyone this entire semester
Probably not worth much though
Stearns still has eligibility. Larkin and Reiss do not.
I think Stutzman, like Aaron Sahlman, is red-shirting her freshman year

Larkin just ran and wore the NAU jersey. I think she finishes after outdoor. Quax ran unattached, his eligibilty ended after indoor.

Looks like she is responding well to the altitude (and training). All distance runners should move to flagstaff lol.

Yes! And we need to relocate the Olympic training center there to mirror what the Ethiopians/Kenyans do.

Definitely - ALL distance runners should either go to NAU or not bother to go to College at all. Valby at NAU would be running sub 14min and sub 29 by now. She (along with every other runner not going to NAU) made a mistake going to Florida. Some other altitude Colleges are OK (BYU, Utah, New Mexico, etc.), but unless you go to an Ivy or Stanford for academics only, then it is a waste of a running career. They should allow 1000 scholarships at NAU to accommodate the need to develop runners.
they just opened the first In-N-Out Burger in Flagstaff. that might entice more recruits.

Notice to all recruits with RED-S, flagstaff has your burger fix literally 1 block from campus :)
25% of top programs already train in flagstaff for 2-3 weeks in summer.
