The return of Morgan Uceny

[aaronk]

As you all probably have heard, Terrence Mahon is returning to the United States from England, and bringing with him his team of Morgan Uceny, Anna Willard, and Jen Rhines.
In fact, Uceny is now in NYC, readying for her final race of 2013, the Fifth Avenue Mile, on Sunday.

According to the article I read, they are now searching for the best place to settle as their training base.

The question becomes, then, will this return to the USA also be the return of the Morgan Uceny of the past, meaning before 2013??
She's only 28, as is one of her chief rivals over the past several years, Shannon Rowbury.

I for one believe we have not seen the last of the BEST Morgan Uceny!!
(Although, despite winning a recent road mile in 4:33, I doubt she'll win (or beat Rowbury) this Sunday!)

Re: The return of Morgan Uceny

I am one that believes, along with aaronk, that Morgan Ucency is a rare talent and I do hope we haven't seen the best of her yet. She's had a lot of adversity with the two falls in the WC and OG...which seems grossly unfair and it would be great if she could get it together again.

I admire her grit in hanging in there through a slowly progressing but, I'm sure, somewhat discouraging, 2013 season. I hope she can show her previous form and more in 2014.

Welcome back home, Morgan and Terrence!

Re: The return of Morgan Uceny

I'm definitely pulling for her as well. And I'm hoping that we see more of Anna Willard, as she has pretty much been MIA this year.

Does anyone know of a live feed for Saturday's Fifth Avenue Mile?

What a surprise........and a happy one......to see Uceny finishing 2nd in the 5th Avenue mile!!
Didn't expect that!!
But good to see her ending (??) her year on a positive note!!
