oooph, judging by the photos, I'd say there's an issue, and issues like that can affect an entire team, especially when the girl w/ the issue is running really well. I recall reading an interview w/ kendra where she was talking about her high school career and how she had a bad season one year in high school b/c she gained weight. That experience probably affected her. I feel like the interview was done in '08 but I don't remember where I read it.
Her coach told her she had the potential to be a great distance runner, so she listened to him. By the eighth grade, her talent was undeniable. She placed fifth in the Canadian Junior Cross Country Championships that year and finished in the top 10 again the next year. But in the 10th grade, Schaaf suffered the only regression of her young career. After a mediocre season, she ran 99th at those junior championships.
"I had it pretty rough," Schaaf said. "You start to mature, your body changes, and it gets harder on you for a while. When that happens to guys, they get faster and grow more muscle. Sometimes, girls gain some weight, and it's harder to get through.
yeah, that's the article. Going from 5th place as a 9th grader to 99th as a 10th grader had to of shaken her up a bit, mentally.
Metcalf is ruining that program. Strong was the brains behind the girls team and the recruiter. As it was said earlier, just look at where the WA talent is going. No home grown talent is going to UW anymore, instead opting to out of state, and in many cases, in state academically inferior schools. None of the guys Metcalf was recruiting this year from WA found a connection with him.
UNC
unc it is
Her face looks fat.
she looks healthier, at least from that picture...hopefully she can stay healthy this season
not impressed with the new UNC coach after seeing Bri's final season last spring
She moved because light blue is more slimming in a uniform than purple

That had nothing to do with him. She had checked out long before he got there. Not his fault.
Who gives a crap. She's not American.
Kendra's back...4th at adidas Wisconsin Invite; Track & Field News picks her to win the NCAA title!
Not an American

Maybe their track/XC SID should learn how to spell Terre Haute, but that's just me.
And yes, Schaaf's still Canadian...

Nice race....From the outside it looked like she might fade into oblivion but obviously she seems healthy and running well. ACC's ought to be pretty interesting with Florida State, Duke, and UNC.

"Healthy?" I would laugh at the absurdity of the statement except for the fact that Coach Watson's need to win at all costs is just more of the sad reality that too many coaches do not care about the well being of the athlete's in their care.
Yes, she was so much better off under Metcalf's proven care. Look how healthy the Huskies looked at ND this past weekend.

I didn't say she was better off under Metcalf. She shouldn't be running, period, until she is truly healthy...and not just over her injuries, but truly healthy.
