#24	Kelyn Opel April 22 at 9:20pm Dude wow the only fear i have for this girl, is the aspect of not fully experiencing losing. If she doesn't lose eventually she will never develop a work ethic in order to become a future Jordan Hassay reply
#23	TC April 21 at 11:23am This is not right. Running pre-pubescent girls hard is an all around bad idea. Their bodies and minds need time to develop to avoid a bunch of long term problems such as injury and eating disorders. Coaches and parents need to back off. It is about the girl, not them. reply
#22	Joshua Carr March 16 at 4:00pm this is why i quit track. god is tampering with the human race as we speak. i actually placed second in a race with this time in 9th grade and im a freaking guy! reply
#21	Anonymous Coward February 25 at 5:07pm ha im pretty sure she could be the guys on my highschool team reply
#20	Fun With Words February 24 at 1:26pm That explanation of a "pity fall" was pitiful. reply
#19	Lol February 23 at 6:22pm hahaha that random girl stopping after the first lap is hilarious. She just kind of stands there... reply
#18	Gabe Jennings February 23 at 5:35pm Dazed and Confused said: “May I ask why the poor girl with no hair collapsed at the finish line and 7 officials were standing there and no one helped her out...” It was "pity fall". She wants people to feel pity for her. The officials probably see it every girls race. No need to feed the pity. reply
#17	Weston Caceres February 23 at 2:30pm Whether or not she becomes bored/burnt out with running will depend on the reason why she does it. If it is a social thing, then she will quit - but if it becomes a part of who she is, then she will run throughout her life. reply
#16	Anonymous Coward February 23 at 2:04am What flotrack needs more of: Southern accents reply
#15	Ted Haggerty February 22 at 9:19pm Great pacing by the little girl! reply
#14	Time February 22 at 5:51pm 11:58 reply
#13	Wow February 22 at 5:47pm geesh this is like watching grass grow reply
#12	Aaron February 22 at 5:03pm Arthur lynriad always said young (pre pubrity) girls have natural endurance abilty. the real test is if she can keep the weight down, and the training up. College is a long ways away....... reply
#11	Board February 22 at 5:01pm seriously? you have no idea what you are talking about. reply
#10	Zachary Fitzgerald February 22 at 4:50pm I've never been a great runner, but, now that you mention it, I started running with the high school kids on my school's team when I was in 7th grade and still enjoy the sport as a freshman in college.(though I just run on my own now) So everybody has different experiences. Just because you got bored with the sport doesn't mean she will. reply
#9	What February 22 at 4:40pm I would have to say that Thats Fake is right. I started running with High School kids in 7th grade. The fact is got board with running. This is true that she will get board with the sport. But what ever. reply
#8	Mike Dixon February 22 at 9:49am That's amazing! Go Jennings! reply
#7	MIke S. February 22 at 5:00am I've been following T&F;for over 40 years and with the exception of Julia Stamps ans Jordan Hasay have not been as impressed since Mary Decker. Watch this young girl's running style with arm cross-over, forward lean and controlled stride. Hopefully she will get excellent coaching for pre-JO meets & high school. Incredible form for her age. For some of the greats just look at Obea Moore's (2x HS Athlete of the Year)times as a youth. reply
#6	WOW February 22 at 3:27am It's like 4:30 in the morning here and I thought it said 'Gabe Jennings.' reply
#5	Billyerdz February 22 at 3:12am "thats fake" you need to grow up what the are you talking about "the right" bird... and what he is a 5th grader doing running at this level this is wrong i would not be surrprized if this was the last time i've ever herd of her reply
#4	Jeff Parker February 22 at 12:29am That girl who sprinted the first lap won the NSIC 2 mile last year in 10:28. She dropped out of today's race with an injury. reply
#3	Dazed And Confused February 22 at 12:19am May I ask why the poor girl with no hair collapsed at the finish line and 7 officials were standing there and no one helped her out... reply
#2	Tom "Baldy" Thumb February 22 at 12:18am What the heck was that girl who sprinted the first lap doing? If she was rabbiting It was terrible. reply
#1	Matt Cahill February 21 at 11:45pm Why is a 10 year old running in a high school meet? reply
