Congrats to Jenny Barringer. Dumped Anna Willard.
Congrats to Jenny Barringer. Dumped Anna Willard.
Jen made up for bad luck at the NCAA's. She beat the best with a new collegiate record. Anna Willard's record didn't last long! Good for you Jen! Yahoo!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her cousin is one of my students, and from what I hear from him, she is a really nice young lady. Huge Congrats
Great race by both of these women. I guess you can say Barringer won by a whisker.
Notice how quickly Nike signed up Anna Willard and Lindsey Anderson....and Michelle Sikes, for that matter.
Barringer should go pro and get her $60,000 already.
commit to memory:
Annette Bjerkeli Hovdal.
16yo Norwegian, ran 9.33 3k stpl recently.

Why? When contracts like the $100,000 Hanson deal is out there, why would a young talent settle for $60k?
correction. ski champion or steeple champion?

Keith Hanson and company would just try to turn them into marathoners like all of the others in the group. Willard is better off staying with McGuire in A2 and continue to improve.
I doubt that Willard would be interested in the Hansons nor do I believe that the Hansons would be interested in Willard. They are both doing wonderful things in our state to promote track and field but obviously different events. I think that Goodridge is also doing good things at EMU and obviously Warhurst with the men of Michigan.
I think the point of the comment was that with all of the money available why would an athlete settle for $60,000.
You know, some people actually LIKE the life of a top tier collegiate athlete and aren't in such a rush to abandon it. I'm sure there will be money there for Barringer two years from now.
i want to make babies with anna willard.
As do I with Barringer!
Sounds like you guys wanna make leapin' babies who like to play in water.
Willard gave a very classless interview and Barringer came back with a very classy response... good for her.
I got the impression they like and respect each other. It's a good thing.
Are you talking about their Flotrack interviews? While Barringer's was very well-spoken and classy, I didn't think Willard's was not classy. She's just not as good of an interviewer as Barringer.
jenny barringer seems like a snob. willard will get back at her at worlds.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
