She ran 2:09 in her first ever indoor meet to win just days after multiple soccer games and workouts. She is coming off 4:40 last year and 4:17 in the 1500. Not sure if she will get down to the 4:33 1600 record but she is definitely in range of that 4:14!
No, but Mary Cain will
2:10.69 at Dempsey today.
66/64 split so probably in about 2:08 shape, right out of the gate....

Very impressive seeing as she is in SOCCER season, and has just been running on the side. Big negative split.
why is she still playing soccer? She must be really good if she didn't give that up for track.
4:17 is definitely within striking distance. Mary Cain is also within range. It would be great to see both at the Trials trying to replicate a Hasay type situation.
Hannah Meier is close behind...led the whole mile today at Brooks PR to win in 4:43 and just a junior. Ran 4:20 1500 last year I think, could not five or six seconds off that this year.
when did chapus run 4:17?
World Youth Championships in Europe last summer. Placed 5th I think. Very solid.
She has a tone of natural talent and never ran before high school. She is in line for a great college career!
Yup, and a great attitude, awesome mental toughness, and very good finishing speed. I've never seen her take the lead with less than a lap to go and not relinquish it...seems to go about 300m out and just progressively kick more and more. I saw her CA state meet and Dream Mile wins and was very impressed.
Best of luck to her this year!
Chapus 4:17, Maier 4:21 against some rather mature-looking Ethio girls:
Oh, and as far as soccer goes, she's good enough to have her own highlights vid:
Meier 4:20 in that race.
Good to see some Americans mixing it up with top African talent and finishing well
If you look at the soccer highlights video, it is made by someone named "fourfortyman", who has put out 4 videos and they are all of just Cami Chapus playing soccer. It's probably her dad or someone her family paid to make the promos (everyone knows Harvard-Westlake people can afford it).
I mean, congrats to Cami and all the other "naturally talented" people out there and everything, but most of use would kill to run those times off of mostly running around in soccer practice. Why doesn't everyone favor the hard worker instead?
Pretty sure it would be tough to find a harder worker than Cami. She is doing a full varsity soccer season right now AND running every day and doing track workouts with Amy! Girl is tough as nails and credits her breakthrough year last year to hard multisport training over the winter
she hasn't gone thru puberty yet, weissenbach however has and is done.
Unless you are one of their parents (which clearly you are not because that is a very creepy statement) you have no way of knowing this.
