8:46 by a white girl as a junior s pretty amazing. Why aren't more people talking about this? 8:46 is way better than the US junior mark of 8:57.

Part of it is we've seen too many female athletes plateau at the level they achieve as a junior. It really doesn't help them to be in the spotlight as a twenty year old. I'd rather these women have high aspirations, but encounter low expectations.

Hard to say about plateauing. This may the making of one of the greatest female runners of all time or she may only improve a little more. Even so, at 8:46, she pretty much equals the best US female this year (Katie Mackey @Monaco), so not too shabby at all!

German abbreviations and euphamisms. Yes, I'm sure many of us can make sense of that log entry.

Rainsberger for 7th. Look out in 4 years. She's gonna develop into a pretty good 10k runner.

She must be a age cheat since she beat the Kenyans, Katie must be too since she was so close

You are obviously black. Black people think all white people look alike. True whites can see that she looks nothing like mary cain.
PS. Get over your white girl fetishism.

She is very legit. Look at her stats, was featured on this site in March this year. Her African competition must have been thoroughly shocked and they will talk about her for a very loong time. Last time it was Mary Cain and now another white woman! Hopefully she develops even further unlike Cain who has stalled.

It looks like she's also pretending to be Ethiopian.
