Hull's voice really isn't that bad, it's actually kind of attractive
Lovely girl, seems ultra pleasant, but there's zero chance I could put up with that voice for more than two sentences. Three, max

With 4:07 she will barely qualify for internat. events. With 4:04 she can with luck and good tactics make it into a final, but it's not likely. For getting anything close to medals one needs sub 4 + good kick.
This why girls like her use her talents in otherwise than talking if you catch my drift.
Kate Murphy retired from running...not on the team anymore
Why is everyone so fixated on her 4:08 PR. The thread is discussing potential.

This is the top 10 all time list in season. Other than Jenny Simpson, NO ONE else was running international competitive times in college. At least Hull is in the top 10. Where's Shelby Houlihan, Shannon Rowbury, Brenda Martinez, Kate Grace, Colleen Quigley? All have PR's 3:57-4:03. And that's just US.
I don't know more about Hull than the mere stats and that she had some NCAA wins. Obviously 4:08 is not bad for a 22 year old and the improvement of almost 5 sec. from 2017 to 18 but worldwide there are a lot of women that age running as fast or faster so it is hard to tell if there is a special potential. Some of them run sub 4 3 years later, other stagnate at 4:07. How to tell? And while her good XC performance might indicate potential over 3k/5k her actual PBs 9:01 16:29 are not that impressive. So which clues for particular potential (say 4:03 or 15:00 in a 2-3 years) are there?
