Chelsey Sveinsson (The TX version of Jordan Hasay): What ever happened to her?

I saw her at a couple meets her senior year of high school after the injury and she had gotten really fat quite frankly. Probably gained 20 lbs and it showed in her races also.

The same thing happened to Annie St. Geme, she was on fire in HS went to Stanford and was never heard from again.

It is too bd as both young ladies were extremely talented.

She ran a 22:XX 6K last fall, which is equivalent to a sub 20 5K, which is still a good time for your average runner, male or female.

Good is relative here, relative to the typical club runner. Except for girls who ran competitively in college, few women in the 21+ age category run under 20 minutes at your average 5ks.

Her time is indication of a very fit individual, which is all that matters in the long run. Her glory days may be over though.

Really? Is it equivalent to a sub 20 5k? Is a 18min 6k also equivalent to a sub 20 5k? You are one serious f'tard.

As anyone who can do math knows, her time was equal to 18:39 without taking into account any slowdown for the additional distance. So obviously even faster than that into the lower 18's, which is as you incredibly moronically pointed out is equivalent to sub 20.

Please go away and never post on letsrun again. F'tard.

i will just wager an unscientific guess that the demands of an elite Academic institution like Stanford, from an academic viewpoint, are so overwhelming that many great distance runners can't focus as much on running there due to an imbalance in school work and free time

The load at Stanford is not that hard. Your unscientific guess is too extreme

To be fair, he didn't say anything about the load. The demand is much higher in terms of how high they hold the bar. The expectations are much greater and so you must work harder.

Good for Chelsey for quitting if her heart wasn't in it anymore. I was on a team with former high school phenoms who felt "obligated" to keep running because they had talent. But honestly, their attitude brought down the whole team and the kids with talent were miserable.

If Chelsey doesn't want to pursue competitive running anymore, that's her choice. Stanford and her will be better off.

What is the difference between "the load" and the things that you're describing? What you're describing sounds like the load I'm describing

Sorry, you are wrong. Both St. Geme and Chelsey were toast before they got out of HS, neither had a chance after their HS careers, don't blame Stanford for their troubles.

This is somewhat accurate. Both of them had injury problems that started towards the end of their HS career and they probably just had trouble getting back to the same level afterwards. I recall seeing a Flotrack interview of St. Geme a few years back where she was talking about recurring injuries and stress fractures after enrolling at Stanford. If you take a long time off from running, it is easy to get stuck in an injury cycle by consistently rushing back to fitness before you are structurally ready to handle it.

Nobody who chooses Stanford is a version.

Sorry, but im probably more correct than you are. Low 18's, maybe not so. It really depends on the difficulty of teh course she ran the 6K on. If you add about 3 minutes for the extra K, that comes out to 19:39 for the 5k. 3:39 is probably more generous if you count for the slow down, which approximates a 19:00 5K. Even with all of that factored in, its no better than high 18's. low 19's. So who's the f'tard again?Ever thought to analyze the difficulty of the 6K itself? jackass.

Ill let you figure that one out. Feel free to phone a friend.

Trying to imply that Stanford students are anything like students at a regular school is the height of narcissism.

She was a summer track star in middle school. First precursor to early burnout. Don't recall possibly 2:08 4:45 1500. Good stuff. A lot of press about it. Goes to Greenhill Academy not exactly the hotbed of distance running. If I have the story right her mom an ex marine was employed there and may have been coaching her. Her dad was from Iceland?

First several years of hs rips it up. She is not running for a Texas Uil school so her coaches handpick big meets all over the country and she kicks ass. I saw her at the Texas Relays the year she And Sarah Andrews left a decent field in their wake till the last 800 where CS put the hammer down and closed 2:20 to finish in a new state record of 10:07c it was a sight to behold. Her senior year in track was the polar opposite.

speaking of phenoms, how is Daisha Rogers of Florida doing this year?

Are you seriously mentally retarded? I don't think you can do math. You're just going to choose 3 mins? Are you that dumb that you don't know she average 18:39 5k pace the entire way. Do you have any idea how dumb you are? Seriously that's probably the least intelligent post in the history of Letsrun which says a lot. Can people vote for post to get it moron post of the day so everyone can make fun of him

the girl's got major-league cycling legs. should give it a try.
