Anyone know where she is taking her officials? #1 female recruit in this class, correct?

there have been several threads on this, the 5 are believed to be Providence, Villanova, NC State, Oregon, Stanford.

It would be a shame if she chooses Stanford. The degree would be nice but the coaching there could ruin her.

Colorado would be the best choice. Just the academics aren’t great.

Providence would be the best choice. Ray Treacy knows what he is doing.

She may be the number one female runner- but a lot of colleges are probably afraid she isn't going to stay around. I know for a fact that Starcher is right up there as a top recruit also because of her range. She has been offered full rides to Stanford, Oregon, Notre Dame, and Duke as of right now. She has already taken officials to Stanford and Oregon and is going to the other 2 in September.

Incorrect. Tommi Truman from Illinois is the number 1 female recruit. She ran 4:23/9:28/15:32 last year as a junior. She did a bunch of unofficials last year and got no serious offers so she decided to do her officials as a woman...

Is this true or just a joke? If it’s true, she should go to Montana, the path will already be open for her. Montana could become a powerhouse in the next few years.

Agree, out of that list of five, Providence/Treacy would be the best choice for her in terms of long-term development into a professional.

Do you know how hard it is for a male to get full ride offers? It’s really hard. This girl deserves a full but so many others do not.

Outside of sisson who has gone to prov and then go onto a long pro career. The list is not as long as you think

What does this even mean exactly? The laws of science, math and engineering are the same no matter where you go. The academics there are fine.

I think coaching is pretty much irrelevant really. If she's smart she will work out race schedule and run it by whichever coach she ends up with . No surprises.

From there she should work out a training program and put it in writing . No excuses. The coach just acts as a --very-- interested observer, record keeper,confidence builder. No problems.

Good god people are idiots on here.

I don't think it's long. I'm speaking more to his success in coaching elites like Smith, Huddle, Cragg, and Sisson. When he gets talented female runners he seems to do a good job with them.

I think they meant stay around as in go pro. I think lots are probably also worried she won't be good within 3 years, but maybe you risk it for the high profile of getting her and maybe getting 1-2 years out of her before she's done(Which unless some things change is coming).

Her family is Irish-Catholic, so why not Notre Dame?

I don't know anything about the rationale; presumably she has picked the ones she thinks are likely the best for her. The first three are mentioned in this video at ~8:30. Someone else reported Stanford and Oregon in one of the other threads on this.

Villanova would be her best choice for many reasons. Gina Procaccio is as good as it gets.

I would advise her to buy a one-way ticket on a packet steamer for Togo, hitchhike across the Congo Basin arriving in Iten sometime toward mid-dry season, live on some charitable family's floor, drink goat milk from the teat and train whenever she goddamn wants.

That would be formative, non-conforming and rupture this absurd assembly line to college athletics Americans are so convinced will make them exceptional. It is such a profoundly boring model.
