Cayla Hatton no longer running?!!?!

Source? I know she hasn't raced in a while, but are you sure she's retired?

She's not running for Stanford any more. She is planning to keep running, although probably not at the same level.

source: lets run - "The one thing we did change was moving two Connecticut-to-Oregon transfers (Crevoiserat and Zrinyi) to Oregon and removed Cayla Hatton from Stanford as she’s no longer running."

She was such a talent

the proper title for this thread should have been, "Is Cayla Hatton update?"

Talking about Stanford:

If Cayly Hatton (#21) was still on the team, this team might be contending for #1 as they’d return 3 from top 31

Stanford roster confirms it:

She was the girl with the hip injury in HS who came back to run an absurd 10k time in a D3 men's race, right?

Does anyone know the reason? I'm feeling sad and a little baffled.

Post that she ran an absurd amount of elite times and then went to junior worlds to come in 4th in the 5K.

Her story really gave hope to injured runners that with proper therapy and enough training, maybe they could become elite like her. Also, she accomplished all of that through a coach completely unaffilated with her school whom she payed. Some kids have utter morons for high school coaches to see someone having such massive success without their high school coach was good news to kids who found themselves in rough coaching situations.

I remember reading that she wished to become a brain surgeon, so the amount of schoolwork probably became too much to juggle with D1 running.

How is d1 running any more or less demanding than d2 or d3?

Correct. 33:17 in HS.

Got a big headline on the front page on April 2, 2012:

It's worth noting that she never ran track for them and wasn't on their tfrrs roster either:

Story I heard was that she wanted to train differently than the rest of the team and was told she couldn't.

D1 runners take an extra 15 hours per week of course and lab work on not being excruciatingly insecure about their college choice. It's a lot of work, but definitely pays off.

Whatever you have to tell yourself

I think the poster was referencing the pressure of D1 athletics, especially at (a) big time athletic program like Stanford...regardless of the sport.

Thanks, I didn't see that. She seems like a nice person, so I hope she's happy whatever she's doing.

Geeze, what's with all these great runners going to Stanford and then retiring? Must be something in the water there.

They try too hard to recruit ready made championship teams rather than building runners. Really, they didn't know what she was doing to run 33:17? Not 25 miles a week on singles.

Maybe all these kids are just smarter than the coach. There are a 1000 qualified students for everyone one let in. They want to go to Stanford so they use running to get them in and then do what they came there to do, study. Maybe she had no intentions of running. She wants to be a brain surgeon so she can pay her parents back the 180,000 they forked out for HS. LOL.

This. She is still training, but her own way now.

Can you share your source for that information? In the "Is Cayla Hatton update?" thread, somebody, who claimed to be the close to the team, said she had left the team due to an eating disorder. A couple post later somebody, who also claimed to be close to the team, said that the previous person was wrong and she had left for other reasons. Nobody really seems to know what she's up to.
