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).
What's your problem? Why not celebrate one runner without the need to belittle the other?
Mostly baiting. Wanted to draw attention to the terrific Keith performance and Valby gets tons of clicks on this website. I do think Valby could run a similar time in a Diamond League race and I think we'll see that this Summer.
"People are particularly likely to believe an apostrophe is needed when pluralizing nouns ending in vowel sounds (e.g., “frisbee’s”), numbers or decades (e.g., “1980’s”), surnames (e.g., “Jones’s”), or acronyms (e.g., “TV’s”), but the apostrophe is wrong in all of these contexts. The correct forms are “frisbees,” “1980s,” “Joneses,” and “TVs.”
Megan Keith, same age as Parker Valby, just ran 14:43 in Shanghai. How much better than Valby is she? How worried should Valby and the Americans be?
Valby luster is starting to fade already. Congrats to Keith showing that others who train hard can also shine. We’re expecting great things from Keith.
Shouldn't you mention she got 8th place and was beaten by 4 women that are younger than her? I guess because she's white so she gets more attention. She'll be a nonfactor in Paris.

it matters because she is genuinely clean and her stated age. not saying the women who beat her aren't, but it wouldn't be very surprising if they were doping AND/OR much older than stated. It's also pretty ignorant to not be open to the idea that they are doping/age doping given how many east africans get caught

Valby versus Keith in an Olympic final isn’t necessarily a meaningful matchup. If one tries to keep up with a fast pace set by the East-Africans, and the other doesn’t, the latter will have the advantage.

How do we know if she is genuinely clean? Thats a pretty ignorant statement.

They’ll both be challenged to make the final. Possible but anything from a sure thing.
