For sure! She proved herself in her debut 21k at Houston, and she certainly has the build to make a great marathoner. One never knows if she can translate her half into a great marathon, but I think the AR is hers if she jumps to the marathon.

oh man, I can't wait to read the xenophobic posts from rojo and team when that happens!!!!
Stephen Haas has made her and done everything for her for the past 5 years. Karma is a horrible thing. This almost always ends bad. Stephen made the mistake of giving in to her every need so she is going to find that life is different without her support crew. Big races become much more lonely when you have been accustomed to something different.

She has been training at a high level now for a really long time. Probably knows what she wants. Maybe the team got too big and she wants to mix it up.
At the end of the day it is just running. Im sure she can handle booking a few flights and can get an uber on race weekend

Losing the familiarity of your support group never works out great. Kara Goucher had a break up with Nike and her training group and never ran another pb and finished the dreaded 4th in the OT. She just needed a little more of the immeasurables that a group provides. Same thing with Des and her departure from Hansons. 4th in her next OT and never ran another PB again. Both could “book their own flights and get an uber” but that turned out to be not enough

Oh well I hope it works for her
You mean super shoes? Yeah, i guess that would have made the difference. Or are you saying she just needed to be assaulted again by salazar?

It's extremely dumb to say Haas "made" her. Kelati was very good in college, winning an NCAA XC championship and a track 10k, and would have won more if not for COVID.
Your post also discredits all the hard work that Kelati put in, especially running well for years in HORRIBLE Under Armour shoes. I would actually say that Kelati "MADE" Stephen Haas because Kelati single handedly put Dark Sky on the map (she had success before Lokedi).
Ultimately, she had a bad year in 2025 and didn't make the USA Championship team. Haas didn't have the knowledge to take her to the next level, so it was time to make a change.

I agree. Unloyal Larry sounds like Haas himself or another UA / Dark Sky representative.

the team had grown significantly since she joined. she might prefer a smaller environment. and I don't think Haas made her, she was gonna be a top talent wherever she landed.
of course theres always a chance her UnderArmour contract expired and she used her past success to get a better deal from someone else. happens all the time.

All kinds of athletes have moved and had success especially women. In the marathon we have women running into their 40s! She has a long career ahead of her as she moves up in distance
