to make the US team in the 1500m or 5000m she needs to be in shape to run well under 4 minutes and 14:50 or faster. So it makes no sense to join a group full of 4:05 and 15:10 5k girls with an inexperienced coach. At least training with Jenny she would have a capable training partner, its too bad wetmore wants to make money off athletes.
good luck to her
I think this guy's right about the stiff situation to get onto a US team. No disrespect to the others in the Boss Gang, but that is not the case with all the countries in question. I agree with whoever pointed that out. I mean, if you can get the standard, aren't you on Jamaica's team, period? RSA might be a little better....
Where I respectfully disagree is that Wetmore darn well should get paid. Doesn't the Boss? Don't they all? I am not an enormous Wetmore fan, but that's primarily because I'm not all that into the whole NCAA thing. In fact, I'd never heard of the subject of this thread but clicked because I know who the team in question is. Meb's brother, too, is familiar. So I thought it would be interesting to read about someone who could be up-and-coming. But I don't expect Wetmore to keep her around anymore than I expect her parents to pretend she's 12 years old and let her live for free.
