My only response is... just because Dani Jones hasn't run 15:19 yet doesn't mean she can't.

"Jones ran 16:12 to win PAC 12's and while I'm sure that race was tactical, it's no way indicative of what her flat out ability is in the 5k"

This was part of my response from my last post. In no way did I say Jones wasn't capable of 15:19. Maybe she is. I was just saying PAC's wasn't idicative of her flat out ability.

Even if she is capable of 15:19, Schweizer's drive out from 3 laps to go is really good and she has a lot more experience under her belt. Let's not forget she was 3rd in this race last year.

I actually ran with Dani a few weeks ago. We were clicking off 6:30s over some moderate rolling hills, and she was talking super easy like it was effortless. She went 13+ miles, I went 5+. She has a strong aerobic engine for a 1500m runner.

I know she was good in HS but did she show big potential?
She was the top female high school distance runner in the country her senior year.

Don't really know but I'm not going to get too excited about it. Plenty "would be talents" out there but I would be more impressed by the underdog. Just saying.

The new facility is nice, but I am guessing having two Olympic medalists has done wonders for recruiting as well.

All very nice, but the current team was recruited before those medals.

I wish all young female runners would look at this picture and realize that success is not determined by weight or body type. Jones has a healthy natural look that will serve her well in the long run, whereas I worry about the long term future for Rainsburger, she doesn't look healthy.

Rainsberger would likely look fine if she wasn't in the middle of a stride. That's plenty of quad there, and isn't the best representation of how healthy she looks. Agreed that Jones looks very healthy, and is clearly very fit.
