Soccer? Other sports? Why no more extensive training? Definitely talented. Needs coaching of some quality, though.
She sounds really talented, but there isn't really any way to know until you see how she handles and responds to real training.
Talented.
But likely a 400 type 800 runner. Most coaches would start shoving mileage at her and watch her go from 2:10 to 2:20 and blame the athlete.
If this is your kid let her start with the 400 runners and go from there. She'll tell you when she's ready to step up.
