Can't find the statistics for how many of Corey's weekly xtrain awards Allie won this season. Anyone have those records on hand?
:P
Is Allie O a Mormon? She looks like one. Just wondering.
Links contain two of the best interviews I have ever heard with a distance runner. Straightforward, confident but not overly so. And finishing 4th in the national championship 5k only 75 minutes after blowing away the field in the steeplechase (and it seems only the third competitive race she has run in the event) is a singular accomplishment.
Commentary that has described her as "too small" for the steeplechase, overworked and injury prone seems to have been vastly overstated.

But she's still too small for Jr. High School.
That never registered before but you are right, she does have that LDS look. Anyone know if Allie is Mormon?
"Beef, it's whats for dinner!"
She has a changed look, imo. Healthier, not as thin looking. Could be my imagination but either way, best of luck to her.
Still looks and sounds like she's 10.
She is fair-skinned and no makeup ----> looks Mormon. But I doubt she's mormon.

She is sincere and honest and that is very interesting to watch.
A few years ago there was an interview where she talked about how to deal with doubts or lack of confidence. Unusually candid and well-spoken- and I think she was in HS at the time. She's got a good, understated sense of humor. I hope she stays healthy, enjoys the journey, and keeps talking with the press.
Nose piercing= probably not Mormon.

Growth and development stunted due to overtraining and lack of proper nutrition. Stress fractures are the result of this.
She will be back on the shelf before we know it.

mentions revised training to prevent stress fractures: fewer miles, fewer hard workouts. but doesn't say anything about food.
she seems like a good kid and surely is a talent, but i do wonder about an eating disorder. i realize that's none of my business, but so many of these distance runners operate on the edge of superlative fitness and breakdown.
Pretty sure I've seen her at the starbucks on campus/drinking coffee in the cafeteria
