      • She had a steady progression of times I believe running a 4:46 mile by the time she was a senior. She was definetly goo, but not a 14-year old prodigy which you often see from female distance runners. Her career is certainly become something a bit bigger than could have been expected..

      • She was an amazing cross country runner in high school, but she would always go out at a ridiculous pace at Foot Locker regionals and pass out/drop out. She'd be winning by what looked like 20 seconds at the mile mark and then not finish.

      • Yeah, It's called learning your lessons (sometimes you have to learn muliple times before they sink in) and moving on. I think she has proven herself.

      • If memory serves, Cal. Never heard much from her after HS, compared to the others behind her on the list.

      • Barrientos went to UCLA. She had a good collegiate career, perhaps not what many expected after her outstanding high school career, but good enough that 95% of the posters on here would be jealous. From what I hear, she is training again. You never know. Michelle Lillienthal was another who had a solid but not outstanding collegiate career. She started running longer after college, ran a few marathons, now holds a 2:35 PR and (presuming she is healthy) probably will run at the 2008 Trials.

      • Siraki went to Stanford and also had a good collegiate career - 33:30ish for 10k, pretty good cross career. Stanford had so many talented runners during that stretch - Siraki, Bei, Craig, Fleshman, Goff, Elmore, Sullivan, McWalters, the Trotters - and I'm sure I'm missing some.

        I'm not sure what Siraki has been up to since, haven't heard anything. I think she graduated in 2006. If anybody else has info, it would be interesting to know what she's doing now, whether she's running, etc.
