5:05??? That is like a guy taking out footlockers in in 4:25ish...and still winning by almost a minute.
Laurel Burdick lives in Syracuse, still running. Engaged to Pat Leone of leonetiming.com

Americans consider being flabby to be healthy.

I wouldn't call her flabby in that picture. She's put on a few pounds, but in her case it was absolutely the healthy thing to do.

Trotter's 2001 season was quite possibly the greatest HS XC season of all time, male or female.
I'm gonna say that the very same season someone had a better x-c campaign. Ritz won that race over Webb, and Hall by a good 25 seconds. Then he went on to qualify for Junior Nationals and getting 3rd at World XC juniors.
And I'm gonna say that Ritz, Webb, and Hall are all a year older than Amber Trotter. So, while it was her senior year in high school, the boys were already in college.
I found an essay written by Amber herself in a book about eating disorders. Her stress fracture was the result of years of anorexia (even though she had recovered by that point). It was somewhere major like her sacrum (low back) and took her out of running completely. She was torn between returning to competitive running and traveling abroad for school (or something like that) so she took it as a sign to pursue other things in life. In many cases the reason you don't see many young talented girls continue to perform at a high level is because of disordered eating. It catches up with them and causes injuries. So let's keep calling them "flabby"...that will really help.
Ah yes, backhanded sexism, be careful what you say, women are sooooo weak that the wrong combination of words can complete ruin them. Boys are tough, you can say whatever you want around them but be gentle in front of the poor, poor females. Even an echo of the word "fat" will send them straight into 3 years of anorexia.
How about rather than coddling everyone all of the time, we simply ridicule any moron who doesn't realize that human beings have to eat? I know, not PC, but jesus aren't some girls tired of being treated like children?

She looks good and normal; I am not sure what you are looking.

Come on, you know that isn't realistic. Do you have a wife or a girlfriend? They get real touchy about this. Better off to avoid it entirely.
Or, "no you're not fat" (lie)
Its a shame though for a coach that just knows his runner could immediately drop 25 seconds of her 5k pr if she could just push herself away from the dinnertable a little sooner.
But crazy things start happening with women's brains when they start thinking about weight. For some reason nearly all cannot handle it. And just about every women I've dated had an eating disorder at one time in their teenage years. The ones that didn't basically were just always fat. They never had the discipline to stay way from food.

This board is DISGUSTING. First she's anorexic and everyone talks about her because of that. Now she's too flabby? She is the farthest thing from that. Even if she WAS, calling her flabby does nothing but make you look like a douchebag.
Looks like a normal healthy 20 something woman, actually fairly thin by today's standards.
Just some sick trolls lurking in and posting here in the maw that is Letsrun. Best to ignore them.

It couldn't have been from sitting in a hot tub, where hot water is known to weaken the bones; but from running, an activity that strengthens the bones.
http://www.dyestat.com/state/ca/1xc/trotter-amber-interview.htmThat's solid...
That's also Amanda Trotter, not Amber
Nope.
sorta like Sammy W won Chicago with pace out so fast it would burn your soul..
she got it done with a course record, 16:24, HS girls can't touch that type of pace sub 5:17/mi no matter how it is mixed together
