"I didn't think she would lose to Aisling Cuffe," Procaccio said. "They were high school rivals and Emily did the same thing to her in the high school 3,000 a few years back. I know Emily has the kick no matter who she's against. (Cuffe) opened up a little bit, but I was still pretty confident Emily would run her down."

For those of you who didn't watch it, Cuffe ran a great leg.

Procaccio was only stating the truth. I wouldn't call it a dish. Yes, in this day and age of "let's take everything out of context" and get outraged, it's a bit surprising but I like.
People hate interviews because no one ever says the truth. Then someone says the truth and there is fake outrage.
Lipari is a miler, NCAA indoor champ. Cuffe is neither. Nonetheless, that leg was a PR for any conversion of mile/1600/1500 for Cuffe, she really stepped up. Not sure why Stanford didn't run
The real story was Roesler cratering.

Gina doesn't blow smoke. Everyone knew what was coming. Cuffe ran great. Oregon was the surprise.
welcome to Philly baby. grow a pair
Stanford's DMR should be even better next year with Cranny in the mix.
To be fair, Procaccio is right. These two have a long history of racing each other in HS. I assume Gina was referring to when Lipari won the Penn 3k her senior year. A month later, however, Cuffe took her down at states

Lipari did usually win at the mile distance, but to be fair Cuffe was a year younger and was completely dominant in her senior year. It was great seeing them finish 4th and 5th at NCAA xc and 1st and 2nd at NCAA indoor in their respective events at NCAA Indoor.
Procaccio is a racist!! Fire her now!!!!

Yeah, I was wondering why Fedronic wasn't anchor but it looks like indoors was it for her.
Now Cuffe must really be getting frustrated. That's 2 days in a row. Looks like D'Agostino ran out of room on her 1500 leg
Was she supposed to be like my girl had the baton and I had no faith in her to get the win. The coach is going to support their athlete. And it's not like she's wrong. Second day the same thing happened. Lipari has a kick. Cuffe does not.
Well deja vu today.
