Of course there are many factors here outside of a running program: Adjusting to college social life, academics, mental health, diets etc.

No question: UC Berkeley's women squad
Bethan Knights - 9:53 for a full two mile in highschool, never to run any faster
Marissa Williams - 4:39 PB in highschool, has gotten worse
Lauren Chetelat - Rocks it at stanford, transfers to Cal to never be heard from again
Has any women ever improved there?
