    Sydney is also like 5'10 with a much better frame for running than Mary Cain or Tuohy. Very long legs. Plus she plays basketball so she's very athletic. She can probably jump and touch the basketball rim.

    More importantly, her coach is really conservative. Cain, Tuohy, Lane, their coaches hammered them and they will burn out big time (Cain already did).

    Sydney might be the next great american distance runner.

    Lol! Speculate much? How many high school girls do you know who can jump and touch the rim?!

    How do you know her coach is conservative? Has her training been made public?

    She's a really good HS runner, but we've seen this story before (with some variation), and the ending is often quite unpredictable.

    I guarantee you there are more girls in HS that can jump and touch the rim than can run as fast as Sydney. Just because you are a 5'6 male who can't touch net doesn't mean that touching the rim is unheard of for women.

    Sydney played soccer and basketball most of her life, she's still really new to running.

    In her dyestat interview she said it was really easy:

    Do you think Sydney can spot a run-on sentence? That's something a lot of people, yourself included, cannot do!

    She was given a 154 speed rating for her performance at the Mayor's Cup in Boston, an open meet. It was near impossible to rate the course given that there were very few reference points. It is the same course as the Battle in Beantown. This year Abbey Wheeler won the race (not at all tactical) in 17:10.

    Rest of Top 5: (the first split is 3.1k)

    2 Bethany Hasz JR Minnesota F 10:46 17:17 5:34

    3 Abigail Green FR Virginia F 10:45 17:17 5:34

    4 Sydney Meyers SR Eastern Michigan F 10:47 17:19 5:35

    5 Megan Hasz JR Minnesota F 10:46 17:21 5:35

    The conditions there were quite good for running.

    Last year in similar conditions, where it rained a bit but was only sloppy after the girls race for the boys:

    1 Elinor Purrier SR New Hampshire 10:36 16:49 5:25

    2 Katherine Receveur JR Indiana 10:36 17:03 5:30

    3 Paige Stoner SR Syracuse 10:36 17:04 5:30

    4 Catarina Rocha SR Providence 10:36 17:05 5:30

    5 Brianna Ilarda SR Providence 10:36 17:14 5:33

    6 Abbey Wheeler SO Providence 10:39 17:21 5:36

    **She has the same course pr as Paige Stoner who was 3rd at NCAAs in the steeple and has run 15:41/32:33!!!!!!!

    And of the women in front of Sydney at Mayor's Cup :

    1) 33:56 10k xc, 5th at USA's

    2) 31:45 10k pr, but only 16:16 5k this year and 73 min half

    3) 33:10 10k this year

    Behind:

    5) 33:06 10k this year

    6) 15:56, 33:46 this year

    Sydney threw down a monster performance. She ran faster than legit collegiate runners and decent pros. Look out for her the rest of the season.

    Discus.

    All of this nonsense is why speed ratings are a joke.

    LOL did you read the part where I wrote: "It was near impossible to rate the course given that there were very few reference points." This has nothing to do with the validity of most speed ratings.

    re: Niles

    Seems a good kid who has been fast for a long time. Grew up in my town, and a year older than my younger daughter.

    Middle school XC races were pretty comical. My daughter was running about 6:20 pace for second place but Sydney was turning over 5:30 or so.

    I recall when she won the MA state 8th grade meet, and the announcer asked her if she was looking forward to HS XC the next year. Her reply, "Not really. I will play soccer in the fall!! "

    I'm not sure how much a 5'10" frame (or touching the rim) benefits a distance runner. Even in men, the fastest runners skew towards 5'6"-5'8".

    It’s like a boy runner but instead of being a boy they’re a girl.
