EGADS!

Really? Not up to date on Icelandic women's middle distance runners, but I am guessing she could easily qualify in 2012 if healthy. Maybe even WC this year? Standards to be met??

She's (Chelsey Kristína Birgisd Sveinsson) is listed as Iceland's NR-holder in the mile, and has an Icelandic bio page. Her 4.18,13 PB needs to drop 2,39 seconds if she's to take down the 28-year-old Icelandic national record for girls 17-18.

Let's hope puberty is kind.

Girl soph - I think that's over, but the next two years are critical in many ways. Most girl running phenoms do one of the following
a. gain weight (most begin under 100 pounds, but even a nice healthy 120 could spell disaster)
b. find other interests (aka boys)
c. go through stress fracture periods from overtraining
d. get blood disorders like anemia
e. have tender egos and can't take losses well
f. just get tired of running their entire lives around their training schedule

I think most would agree that A, B, C, D, and E are due to hormonal changes that can be chalked up to puberty.

In the NON mile, she not only negative split, but each lap was faster than the one before - a "step-down"!
