Not a lot on Hull on the boards, but she was the only double champion on the female side at indoor nationals. Definitely deserves a little more appreciation. She split 4:30 on the DMR leading the last k and ran away from the 3k field the next day.
After winning the 1500m title last year and getting 3rd in XC she has some serious range. 1500m champ again over Jones and Kirk in June? 1500m/5k double? What could she do on the international level?
She’s gorgeous. Could be a model or actress.
She seems to be one of those unique people without an aggressive cell in their body (super nice), but somehow wins race after race. Definitely a huge upside.

Might be able to yield a decently large contract out of college, especially if she defends the 1500 title. Certainly has the potential to be at World's this year.
Of course, I think Australia does their trials in April so if she build off this fitness, she may be able to snag a spot on the world team. Can anyone confirm how Australia will be doing their World trials this year?

So once Hull starts being aggressive and competitive she will be world class?

Pretty sure you need to talk to be an actress. Nobody wants to listen to her squeaky voice.

Not necessarily. Jordan Hasay and Emily Infeld are similar and have done alright.
Hull reminds me of Schweizer. Both are shy and sweet but like to win.

On the international level? Whoaa!!! I believe she has a slower 1500-meter Pr (4:08) than her teammate, Kate Murphy (4:07 - might be mistake if this is her PR) who ran her PR in high school and has not been able to run in college. How can you ask how someone will do on the international level when she is slower than a teammate - and a teammate who ran that in high school.

A teammate who ran 4:07 junior year of HS, quit the sport (due to health concerns) and never made NCAA's, let alone won a NCAA title. No diss to Murphy, but not really liking the argument here. Any athlete who has 3 NCAA titles probably has international potential. Look at the splits from last years championships when Hull ran 4:08, the splits weren't even and came in a championship race. She could definitely run 4:04-4:05 in fast time trial.
Not American, so who cares?
Get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round at the Olympics/WC?

But did you hear her interview following the DMR? Her voice went through my head like a nail

Not to defend whoever posted about Kate Murphy, but she also ran a championship race against all the best high schoolers and closed in a 62 last 400, clearly running tactical as well.

All the folks in the Farah is better than Bekele boat shouldnt have a problem with this. She seems pretty good at winning lately.
As the previous poster said, no knock to Kate Murphy, but she's not in the sport anymore. I'm sure she had some potential and could be a great athlete, but just because she ran 4:07 in HS does not mean she would be successful on the college level. Where are Cranny and Aragon's NCAA titles? They broke 4:10 in HS. Hull is a 3x NCAA Champ and is talented NOW.
And just because Hull is talented at the collegiate level doesn't mean she'll be talented on the international level, but that's what the thread is about, discussing potential just like how everyone wants to discus the potential of talented HS runners going to the NCAA.
Hull's voice really isn't that bad, it's actually kind of attractive
