Megan Keith (14:43) DESTROYS Parker Valby's 5000 PB in Shanghai

Valby could run that with pros in a race

your point? Some 19 yer old Ethiopian girl ran like an 8 minute 2-mile recently.

Get Valby in a Diamond League race and she easily could.

Tuohy too.

Parker is Taking Care of Business for Florida in the NCAA. Once Valbymania is let loose post college,Expect Even Greater Things!!!

“What, me worry?”

duuude, lighten up.

And she’s not the same age, sparky.

What's your problem? Why not celebrate one runner without the need to belittle the other?

Leaving aside any pointless comparison to Valby, I'm really impressed with Keith's progress. She's clicking off those Olympic standards with ease and there's every reason to think she can get better and start challenging the British records in the next 5 years. It's exciting to have a young distance runner at this level for Britain because the cupboard is looking pretty bare on the womens side.

Anyways, a great run for Keith. And given how hard conditions were (Gidey failing to break 14:30?), I think there's at least 14:35 in the tank for her this year. Maybe even sub-14:30 if she catches a good race in Europe later this season.

Went to upvote this and hit down by mistake.

Valby is way younger than Keith - April to September is a huge difference. She would be in a completely different grade in HS - even assuming that she isnt age- cheating (like most non- Americans do).

Keith's coach is an idiot and she's lost a lot of weight.

Bets are on when the stress fracture will appear and whether she will make the olympic start line.

Shame as she's a real talent

Time to make a comment about British sports. Never mind.

This is an… odd headline for 2 completely unrelated athletes.

No worries, Bro. Keith only finished in 8th place. Valby wins all her races.

because valby is so much hotter and that's what's the most important.

Yes Medina Eisa. She ran a 9.04 indoor 2 mile but was disqualified. However she has just set a world 5k road race world junior record of 14.38. One to watch.

6 months a big difference in your 20's? You're joking.
