Did anyone watch the video on the homepage?

How have I never heard of her? I googled around and she was 5th at NCAAs as a freshman. Her bio page for FSU says she's a model. I certainly see why after watching that video.
She's hot, but she isn't that fast.
She'd get demolished like almost ever US girl would on the world stage.
Even Mary Cain will have trouble beating the world in the future when she's much faster.
Damn.
I think you are just late. She was talked about here a lot 1-2 years ago
She's been in Seventeen Mag before...

Old news....here's her best pic.
Is she related to Sean Quigley? Who was coached by Todd Witzleben?
She is repped by Wilhelmina which is known for the mouthful-of-teeth puffy lipped look for it's teen models.
If you didn't see the camera linger on her for a long time before her semifinal yesterday...you really missed something. #eroticyogavideo
No relation to Sean Quigley, But Dan Quigley From Mizzou is her older brother

Crazy that now it's August 2018, she's had a ton of setbacks (wrongful DQs, injuries etc.), made every US team she's tried out for, been to the Olympics and is a professional runner for the Bowerman Track Club... careful what you say because you never know what could happen.

I hope you are right, but it's been five years, and so far, his prediction has been spot on -- she's only done well internationally is second and third tier meets. Maybe her 1500 in Poland yesterday is the start of something new.

She went from 5th at NCAAs to the Olympics...think she's doing ok

That this was written in complete sincerity makes me wonder if you navigate life without the services of a full-time caregiver, and if so, how.

I'd say she's doing more than ok on the American stage. Most runners only dream of making an Olympic team, and she made it. But making an Olympic team is not what the original post was about. It was about how well she'd do when she got to the Olympics. She finished 8th, 13 1/2 seconds out of the medals. I think this is exactly what the OP predicted.
This may sound harsh, but what's the alternative? Pretending that she's done better than she has?
The truth is that only a handful of US women shine on the world stage at the 1500 or the Steeple. So far, Quigley has not been one of them. I hope this changes.
In the meantime, that I recognize that she's not running at the same level as Ferichs or Coburn, Simpson, Uceny, Rowbury or BMart doesn't mean I don't appreciate her, or root for her. It just means I appreciate her for what she is.

Thanks, Noah, I do just fine.
But I am curious about you. The issue here is how well Quigley is running "on the world stage." When I think of American women who are running well on the world stage, I think of women who are winning races and competing for championships outside the US. Women like Simpson, Uceny, Rowbury, Houlihan, BMart, Coburn and Frerichs. Given her record, I'd say that Quigley does not belong in that group. Do you agree?
