I don't remember hearing anything about her back then.
How good was Shalane Flanagan in high school?

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..

Won Millrose HS mile 4:54.84, 2nd in NSI (first U.S.) 4:46.91, 3 Mass XC titles, and won US Junior XC. Never made it to Foot Locker due to injuries.

more like she always blew up in the FL qualifying race -
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.
-
winning at the mile mark? do they have a special prize for that?
-
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.

where did barrientos go to college? -
that was one of the hottest years in girls track.
-
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.
-
What happened to Anita Siraki?
-
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.
