Well I would hope that she doesn't do anything for free anymore...
since she's a pro and everything now.
However!
I may have been a bit hasty with the rocks comment but I do love a good "rise above the rest" kind of story.
Maybe she will have time to dive into the arts and culture of Italy now and perhaps her academic aptitude will blossom in a way we could only dream of here on Letsrun...
But for the sake of those insta posts and snapchat streaks, I personally hope it doesn't...

Hey do you know If i can still get one of those bible verse bracelets she hands out sometimes ????
Those were all the rage!

It's a piece of paper. She's going professional. She'll be fine.
Sadly I agree with this. We are getting to a point where a bachelor's degree is useless, unless
1. It is from a really good school, usually Ivy or top 25-30
2. In a major that will pay like STEM, nursing, accounting, etc
You aren't very bright for a Med Student, in fact, you don't appear to be very bright in general. Having a college degree in anything from any school in a major advantage in life. Nowadays, just about ever professional job requires a college degree. This girl absolutely should have stayed in school. Unless she goes on to become a consistent medal winner at global championships for over a decade, she could earn more as a school teacher. The reality Cunliffe will quickly face is that she's an American sprinter. You can't earn the big bucks unless you win global championships medals and to win global championships medals, you have to make national teams...good luck with that.

lool bro, you don't understand the slang. When I say she would wreck you at a 100m for free I just mean she would outrun you easily. But yeah you're right she probably should charge you to race with her now that she's a pro lol.
Ye, you were hasty with your comments I think you should take them back. I just don't like how people say all this nasty stuff about my former club teammate (she's white trash? really?) especially when she's been nothing but super nice and respectful to me and I feel like she would say the same thing to someone if they were talking trash about me like that so of course I'm going to defend her wouldn't you do that for one of your training partners who you respected?
And to be honest I haven't talked to her in a while so I don't really know but I'm just saying you don't either so I think you should quit hating for no reason. She gets enough unwarranted hate as it is. For example, before I met her myself some of the people at our gym that we used to train at were talking about how she is super arrogant and full of herself but then when I met her she wasn't like that at all she was just confident in herself. I just feel like a lot of people make unfair assumptions about her like that.
And when I said "she's not the hardest working/mentally toughest athlete I know" don't get me wrong I just meant I sometimes felt like some days at the gym she could have made a lift if she just believed in herself and persevered a bit more but she does work extremely hard. In fact I would say she is one of the most consistent with her practice that I know of (training since the age of 8). It's dumb how people act like she just weaseled her way into success by exploiting her good looks and being white as if she is a low tier track athlete who got a lucky break. People acting like she's a worse version of Jenna Prandini when it comes to her performance on the track, well I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that she'll end up with a better time than Prandini.
But nah bro, you'll have to ask her yourself for a religious bracelet I'm not really into the Good Book personally, that's actually of one the things I mentioned she and I disagree on lol.
(inb4 some troll starts making nonsense guesses that I'm her ex bf or something loool)
And yeah, saying that she should have stayed in school is fair. I mean I don't really know her situation with school but I also would have thought she should just finish her degree but like I said I don't know all the details.
I just think saying stuff like "she looks like a prostitute on instagram" is going way too far.

You mean "how mature are you?" This person seems very mature!
Your absolute rhetoric on higher education misses the mark a bit. In general, higher education is proof to the word that one has an IQ over 100. As you know coach, a college degree or higher simply gets one a job interview. Success has other factors: 1) good looking
2) credit rating
3) lack of criminal record
4) family net worth
5) personal contacts.
Coach, a great looking lady such as Hannah Cunliffe will do fine in life.

Hey I appreciate that (assuming you're not trying to be sarcastic). And yeah I don't feel like I need to disclose my age to a bunch of randos but I'm not an old man or a teenager loool I mean if I used to train with Hannah and her dad you can get a general sense of how old I am.
It's just depressing seeing all this hate towards someone I have a lot of respect for, that's all. Hannah is not a bad person, she doesn't look down on people or take advantage of others or kick someone while they are down. She's always been very respectful of others from what I've seen. She would never call someone that she didn't know personally "dumber than a bag of bricks" or anything. And she's not a prostitute and doesn't act like one.
Her brother is hella chill too (the entire family really). I just think if you guys met Hannah and her family you wouldn't hate them at all. You might disagree with how they roll but you wouldn't hate them or want to say mean things about them. That's all.

John McEnroe was on Charlie Rose Show circa 2007. Charlie Rose asked McEnroe why did he drop out of Stanford after one or two school years. McEnroe told Rose, "I have to run for a living. I only can do this for so long."
I was a high school and college runner. My 60m/100m speed topped out at about age 15. Look in detail at results on Athletic.net. There are so many athletes who slow down in either high school or college. The Olympians are the one's who continue to improve through their twenties. Olympians were not necessarily the fastest at age 14 in relation to their peers.
There are no guarantees regarding getting faster from age 20 to age 22. Go out there and make your money Hannah!
you're right. I misread your post & did not understand what you were saying!

It's all good bro.
I was just asking someone if they knew Hannah personally as a non-rhetorical question because they posted under the name Seattle Speed, which is the name of her dad's track club so I thought they might have actually known her irl.
Draco,
Do you think Hannah would go on a date with Jamin?

I don't know who that is bro
From interviews, both Hannah and her dad are easy people to like:

BTW I'm pretty sure that is a very young Hannah at 0:34

Coach Mike is a great guy. He's helped me a lot personally and his coaching imo was and still is to a large extent ahead of it's time. A lot of the people that competed against us stood no chance of ever winning just because they lacked the knowledge of how to train properly that you learn from Coach Mike.
I don't agree with everything Coach Mike says but I do have a ton of respect for him as a person.
She had some weird pyramid esque scheme on her Snapchat, maybe that has something to do with it

College degrees are now plentiful and worthless. She can pretty much buy one with the pro money. Would the same question he asked of an Oregon football player from Compton who can't write a sentence?
