Raevyn Rogers 2:06.90...and 53.36!

[gm]

800 at the USATF Youth nationals.

Why this post?

She is only 12 years old!

EDIT: Rogers won the 400 in 53.36 Sunday.

does she by any chance play Little League Baseball?

Haha! She was rolling here in Ypsilanti. Will turn 13 in September.

OK now we'll hear from all those who will say she will suck at a later age because she is this good now.

[gh]

More than likely than not that she will; it's the nature of the beast.

Lets be happy for her now, instead of the whole crystal ball thing.

She is one precocious girl it would seem. Let's hope she will be allowed to enjoy being a kid for at least a few more years!

Are they going to get her some quality races against the Ethiopians? I'm guessing she has no competition at home.

hahaha, the ethiopians avoid the 800 meters. what she has to get ready for unfortunately is the rediculous amount of threads, many of which are in poor taste from a running site, where most people post anonymously.

Lets appreciate who she is now.

True. We'll need to move to plan B then

With regard to the message board crap, I already saw one post on dyestat asking if he is hot. I can only guess what Letsrun is like.
