Salazar "very interested" in Jordan Hasay

Jordan is very marketable indeed. All I know is that the "Ghosts of Hayward" will be out in full force next week!

No, you're not a "very concerned parent," you're just another anonymous shtbag on the internet, using his 50th anonymous name to cynically attack a public figure because you are jealous and insecure and haven't accomplished anything in your own life.

The "Duke quotes," do however, very clearly state a description of Alberto's view of the sport AT A SPECIFIC POINT IN TIME when he felt drug testing was not as effective or good enough.

That is how he felt about drug testing and the sport then, and it doesn't reflect that he now feels drug testing is much better and the bio passports have made the playing field even.

Only an idiot could read those quotes and interpret them to mean he advocated the use of those drugs for his own athletes.

?! There's still a lot to improve on. Low arm carriage, lots of twisting and leading with the shoulders. Hasay does not have the squared upright posture of a typical elite 1500 runner.

I never heard of Jordan Hasay.

Jordan was a great high school runner. But if she turned pro coming out of high school, she would have had no marketing platform - she would barely be breaking into the top ten women in the US. But, at U of O, she would attract notoriety and a spotlight for both U of O and Nike products. So, it would have been counter-productive for Nike to sign her then. Now, however, with her collegiate career about to conclude, there is no longer any reason to wait.

That's not remotely true i'm afraid and completely backwards. She had a huge marketing platform in HS. She was more highly thought of and more widely known as a HS sr. than she is today. Everyone in the world of running knew who she was then, and still does. But those who don't really follow running knew more about her then, as did all the other HS girls who looked up to her but don't neccesarily follow much beyond it. Hasay isn't as much of a fanfare as she was right out of HS. I don't think she's gained anything notoriety wise....Hasay was as big as she was ever going to get when she ran her 4:14 at the trials. Who was talking about her in the 2012 trials? Only the hardcore Hasay fans. She was out of the limelight, nobody was focusing on her. She's faded massively as far as being in the spotlight outside of a few people. She can still get that back....but it's not a given, and will probably never be as great as when she was a HS sr. running down older people showing massive promise.

WOW. You are incredibly defensive. I never did any interpretation, positively or negatively. I simply posted the words of Alberto. You , my misguided friend, are the only one that put an opinion to his words.

nice.

I think JH will be a Molly Huddle-quality athlete, except for that american record - JH won't be setting any AHs.

JH should get down to 14:5x and 31:xx, which is great.

JH appears to love running, which is key, and she is not injury prone, which is also great.

Probably she will be a 5k/10k person until she tries the marathon toward the end.

Amazing that we could be talking about JH for 25 years.

Wow. You have your head in the sand bro. Pull it out and see the light.

Hasay's thyroid is too healthy for Alberto to be able to help her.

It would be a damn shame. She is such a small girl. Salazar and his NOPing would have her insides rotted out in no time.

Agreed. I would say she's got a chance to make a couple teams. No ARs though. Like a notch below a Huddle, who is a notch below a Teg, who is a notch below anyone with a WC or Olympic medal.

It's pretty hard to predict who will do what down the road.

I mean, Manzano was second at the Olympics. What???? With all the great middle distance runners in the world, he snags the silver medal!!

So, who's to say what an athlete's limits are? I don't see those "notches" as you do. They are temporary markers, not the lines of destiny.

I hope Hasay goes out a Champ in the 5 K and Oregon brings home the Championship after 4 straight NCAA runner ups for Oregon. How sweat it would be for Oregon to win the Triple Crown this year. I'll be a Hayward for the final 2 days can't wait.

oh yes it'd be very "sweat"for Oregon!

How sweet indeed! As Jordan explains in her interview noted in posts above, it's the last PAGE to THIS chapter. Now on to the NEW chapter and her professional running career.

The crowd at Hayward next week is going to be fantabulous. If you have never witnessed a track meet at Hayward field, please don't miss this one!!!! This meet is one for the ages.

The girls from Oregon will go down in history as the greatest and only collegiate team in history to win the triple crown!!!! How cool is that?

And, of course.....Jordan will turn that page, on to the next chapter.

Jordan rocks on.

Thanks for your input, Vin.

The title of this thread is extremely creepy...

Not exactly a bold prediction, considering the fact that she came within seven seconds of "31:xx" just one month ago, and she is still only 21-years-old.

Alberto is going to look incredibly foolish if Jordan chooses to go somewhere else. This is like proposing on National TV and having her say HELL NO.
