Round of applause for Jen Rhines.
1:11 and change at SD Half. Not bad.
She has really regrouped since her Chicago debut.
Must have gotten right back out there.
A week before SD ran a low key indoor meet in NJ
and bounced out a respectable 9:30 3k and 4:50? 1500.
Her running career is inspiring.
Not the best out of hs. But became the best in college.
Didn't have a stellar year first year out of
college, but became an Olympian. She continues to
dig deeper.
w/in abt a half-minute of Anne-Marie Lauck's CR in that Sandy Eggo half too. Further proof that the path to successgoes through New Jersey.
Central NJ.
Must be the jersey contrails, chemtrails, good air......
Now that she is a part of the Team USA socal group I expect big things. Vigil is the answer and it seems like she along with most of the other women elites are finally recognizing this. People can begin there running careers anywhere but once they achieve something, they end up in CALI.
Isn't Rhines from Upstate NY. Wasn't she a two-time Foot Locker Nationals qualifier (5th I think her Sr. year). Isn't Villanova in PA. Doesn't she live in St. David's, PA but train part of the year in Mammouth Lakes, CA.
What's with all of the NJ references?
J.R. ran her pre-SD half track double at Rutgers. A.M.L. is a lifelong New Jerseyan (and a Rutgers alumna).
Mr. McVeigh do you know who Jen Rhines coach is? Where does she call home?
Jen trains in Cali w/ Team USA and in Phili where she lives. She consults with Matt Centrowitz.
No idea who coaches JR. If she's smart, it's someone from New Jersey (although Matt Centrowitz is from Brooklyn, the next-best thing).
