Impressed by the frosh on the women's team - Faith Dismuke (500), Amanda Burroughs (1000), Leanne Tucker (800), Qualitra Brown (300) - and the newcomer, Erin Ryan (800). Bodes well for the 4x400, 4x800, which would be nice. Particularly excited by Erin Ryan. Four years on soccer team and now trying track. Appears to have been outstanding at track in high school. Has a little speed that may translate to success at 800. Nice use of available resources. How much track eligibility does she have? Soccer seems to prepare people well for track.
 
sebastianic,

Are we going to use this indoor season to try to run Megan V. into her high school shape? And how serious was her injury?
 
Whitecat, I remember reading about her injury, earlier in the year. I found this article discussing the injury. See below. But I do not believe she ever ran well during the entire outdoor season. Note: had she been healthy, VU would have won the NCAA XC Championship. Venables was a far better XC runner in HS than G'town's #5, Katrina Coogan. But who said life was fair ...
