#20	Cheryl Chapman September 9 at 8:23pm I am a junior in high school in Tampa FL and I wanted you to know that you are an inspiration to me. I admire the way that you go about your business without all of the fan fare of athletes like Kara and Shalane. Good luck and I hope that you continue to improve so that you can bring home a medal next time. reply

#16	Marmot84 August 25 at 9:25am Way to go Desiree! You showed maturity in controlling the pace and negative splitting that race. 11th at Worlds is awesome! Don't run too many marathons. Save your talent for races that really count. reply
#15	684 August 24 at 11:39am You did so awesome. I was rooting for you the whole time. I knew you could do it. You are the biggest inspiration to me. reply
#14	Dave Larson August 24 at 10:39am Way to go Desi. Cracking 2:30 is an awesome accomplishment. One phrase...Ein grosses Bier bitte. reply
#13	Gabriel Rodriguez August 24 at 10:00am Congratulations, Desi! We are so very proud of your performance and accomplishment. Enjoy your time in Europe! reply
#12	Raul August 24 at 1:39am Is she cool or what? reply
#11	Eafwn August 24 at 1:34am He'll take you up, he'll bring you down, He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground. He flies so high, he swoops so low, He knows exactly which way he's gonna go. Timothy Leary. reply
#10	Cameron Potter August 24 at 12:21am what a great reward for your work. you're someone i tell the teenagers i work with about--an 18 min. hs xc runner who patiently works her way to the top. reply
#9	Ricardo Salvador August 23 at 7:11pm WOW! What an incredible achievement! Best wishes for continued improvement and success. You looked superb, steady and always in control on the Universal Sports coverage (you were shown at least three times, and each time the commentators noted the unique work it is to run alone, rather than working with a chase group.) What a gracious comment regarding nearly catching Kara at the end, after she faded from "knocking heads with the leaders." Your record, your youth and your attitude show that there are great things in store for you in the near future. Thanks also for engaging a complete stranger in conversation at last year's Detroit Free Press Marathon expo. Best of luck with everything that's coming, but in the meantime, enjoy Europe and a much deserved rest! reply
#8	Jesse Williams August 23 at 3:47pm nice work Desi!!! Now have fun in Europe!! reply
#7	Victoria Jackson August 23 at 3:29pm Des!!! Baller!!! Great race and great interview! Soooo happy for you! 2:27 is turbo fast! Enjoy your Euro trip and all those great sights and beers! Here's some more exclamation points, just for fun!!!!!! reply
#6	Max Group August 23 at 12:33pm Great race! You deserved this one! reply
#5	Anonymous Coward August 23 at 11:48am Congratulations, Desiree! She was definitely prepared and ready for this. Awesome. reply
#4	Anonymous Coward August 23 at 11:31am So does she get the Brooks 100k a year now for going under 2:31? reply
#3	GonzoB August 23 at 10:50am absolutely Jeff; delightful young lady, future looks bright reply
#2	Jeff Abbott August 23 at 10:26am Congrats! What a great race. I love the line about not racing for the win...yet! good spirit and probably a lot more to come in the future. reply
#1	Panthervision August 23 at 10:17am Great job Desi! Huge PR, top 11 in the world! It seems like you are starting to replicate what Brian did on the men's side at Hansons in dropping huge chunks of time and starting to place high up at Worlds. 2012 Olympic team is a realistic possibility. reply
