She's not looking like a medal contender at 1500m. Not her fault, the world's just gotten better. The steeple is improving fast, too, but I feel like she'd still have a better shot there. I know this idea's been floated before, but after today, I'm finally convinced that this is the right move.

Hold your horses, cowboy! The last time I checked, they were not handing out Olympic Medals in the 1500 meters in the last week of May. There are 11 weeks to go before the Olympic Games. I think Simpson's 4:01 in late May is a good result. My guess is that Jenny is planning to train through the Olympic Trials because she will make the team without a problem. Simpson's goal is to be ready in 11 weeks. And we should judge her in mid August, not late May.
