No idea, as far as her botched XC season, I think she has recovered and is just living life. Definitely a sub 16 as long as she can manage to stay healthy in future years. Looking at how Katelyn Tuohy’s season has been going, I feel like there is a revolution on the horizon for female distance running. The class of 2020 alone is showing some potential all-time talents.
-
No indoor season is my guess. Maybe no outdoor too.

Grace Ping ran a 9:45 3K in the USATF indoor meet #2

Little girls racing already after how CC ended? Hmm, apparently CC didn't make Daddy very happy.
-
Wow, that is a great time. I was wondering if she was just maturing and leveling off during xc but this indicates she was really injured. She crushed her sister who started beating her in the fall.
-
Dad seems like good guy.

Minnesota doesn’t have a Highschool Indoor season. I know she did Nordic Skiing in 7th grade. But that was before her move. -
Grace ran a sub 5 mile on Jan 21st

How old is she now? I've lost track.

Botched?
She didn't win everything in sight so it was a botched season?
When healthy she won every meet, when injured she won most meets.
3rd at state with a sore leg is not a botched season.
Unless you have unrealistic expectations. -

Ping beat the state champion by 50 seconds. -
5 for the mile and 9:45 for 3K (What is that for 2 miles? 10:30?)
Those times are not international level. She should be playing other sports or running for fun instead of trying to be
a professional at age 7. -
9:45 for 3k indoors is about 2 seconds off her pr according to milesplit.
and about 16:25 for 5k outdoors.
Her age 13 world record is 16:25.63.
According to one source the age 14 world record is 16:24.28 by Emily Pigeon.
Ping should get that this spring after track season. -
What about her sister? She was doing pretty well in XC.
-
Yes, that is the official 14 year old age record.
While Grace is presently faster at short distances, she is slower at her competitive distances. This indicates to me a problem with stamina.
Check out the Girls' Championship 5K Heat #2 at New Balance: nbnationalsin.com. Grace did use up some energy early in the race, but still she was running comfortably in 2nd at ~16 min. pace about 1/3rd of the way through the race when she hit the wall, ending up ~17:11.
So the Q is :Can she build up her endurance in time to go for those 2 mi. & 5K age records? -
Is Grace running high school track this season?

"Is [name] update? "and "[Name] goes home devastated" are classic letsrun.com subjects and have been for a long time. People do it on purpose because it's somewhat become a joke or a nuance of the site. -
