I was just wondering what happened to carol henry? I don't think we ever got any answers...She was racing well...then stopped racing all together. Then when she showed up again...she was racing well below her potential and just did a race here and there in outdoor. does anyone know?
guess I should make it clear for the obnoxious people on this site that this is a thread not meant to ridicule or trash talk henry...it is simply meant to kill the curiousity and to receive some answers...
I've been wondering the same thing...she just kind of disappeared from the running scene.
Bumpity Bump Bump Bump
I'm friends with her and she tore her achilles in 2005 and literally couldn't walk, or sleep because of the pain. They told her it was only flared though so it wasn't treated properly. She ended up taking six months off and even after that said she still had trouble running on it. After getting hurt her soph, junior and senior year she would rush back and hammer herself into the ground to get back into shape. She worked harder than I have ever seen anyone and did a great job but I think it was really draining to keep on trying to come back that fast. We watched her get really upset and not really be her peppy little self anymore. I think because there were unrealistic expectations on her to pop back into shape in a month and she was really hard on herself because she felt like she couldn't do what they were asking of her. After struggling for such a long time and being a little distraught about it, I think she really needed to put things into perspective in her life. Which was pretty difficult because she loves competing and the social part and obviously it would be a hard situation for anyone to go through. I think she works in finance now and does great. She still has alot of supporters in running who are trying to get her to get back into it that know her really well, and know her talent. Hopefully after a little bit of a breather she can make a come back. If not though, she has already done amazing things and best of luck to her.
This girl is the nicest girl you will EVER meet so the story might be a hard one to get. The above discription is a good one but I think as said in another post......in the right situation she will do very well.
thanks for the info. that sucks for her though. I know she was and still is capable of doing awesome things!! I just had a curiosity bug about what happened to her b/c I always strived to be as talented as she was...and still strive to achieve many things that she has. I think she'll have a come back! my teammates always thought she was hot and enjoyed wathing her run...and I enjoyed it for other things...her grace and how quickly she moved with little ease (so it seemed).
Good luck to her!
