Hasay should have turned Pro out of HS

Would be in much better shape today. She should be running Zola Budd PR'ish times right now :

1500 m: 3:59.96

1 Mile: 4:17.57

3000 m: 8:28.83

5000 m: 14:48.07

But instead she has been exploited in a ridiculous college system that has her running silly mileage that is too slow for a 1500 meter runner, and too little for a serious 5k runner. She has turned into some hybrid 1500/5000k runner who excels at neither.

So you are suggesting she could do a pretty beastly 3000?

Dude... Stop drinking the bong water...

You cracking jokes moron? She wasn't good enough to turn pro out of HS! 4.14? That won't get her anywhere. And as it turns out she is even worse now. There are multiple collegiate runners faster than her in the 1500m, 5000m.

You are a joke

Way to prove their point, college has been a total waste of time for her.

should have gone to Stanford. would be no worse off as far as running goes, and she would have been in an academic environment a far sight better than Oregon High.

running for a college benefits the college.

if you have true talent for the long races, you're better off training outside of a college team, and being on a long-term program.

Haha exploited!! Many athletes have progressed well in college. Flood, D'Agostino, Rogers, Kipp, Reid, Coburn, Lacaze, Infeld etc. Many have made the olympic team. Its ridiculous to say the college system has prevented her from improving. Perhaps people overhyped the athlete and she hasn't improved to people's expectations.

What a ridiculous post

the vast majority of 16 minute high school girls are over-hyped. most have nearly maxed out their potential by being in regimented programs since their early teens. only a rare few actually have low 15 native talent.

time will tell if hasay is a world-class talent in the long races, but she's had this supersonic hype following her, based on having good talent and very early high-level training.

look at what she was doing as a 12yo compared to d'agostino or coburn or rogers; those other girls probably spent their early teens doing 1/4 the training of hasay...if that. hasay was winning 5k's when rogers was chasing the ice cream truck down the street.

we should all have the experience and wisdom to know that these 16 minute school girls are the very ones we should NOT hype, because most of them--at 16 or 17--are already close to the best they'll ever be--and that is just another of the many 20 year old ladies running 16 minutes, and hoping to run 15:30 but probably not talented enough to do it.

i hate to see and hear hasay say she's embarrassed to perform so poorly in front of the oregon fans. she needs to reorganize her identity and realize she's just another good runner, and not this superstar like rupp.

she will be happier if she moves forward with expectations based on reality, and not on hype. she needs to join the large throng of ladies who are going to work hard over the next few years, hoping it works in their favor and they get a legit shot to reach their goals. just join the pack, jordan, you're one of them. oh, and have a conversation with kim conley.
