Congrats to her! And anyone who is looking for solid coaching at the D1 level, look no further than Tom and Felipe at Santa Clara Univ. They have taken 2 of my high school athletes and already each of them has improved dramatically in their short time there. And they obviously have done a great job with Steph.Evan Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-2760035158179515582010-01-05T16:41:01.530-08:002010-01-05T16:41:01.530-08:00I heard she has done some pretty high mileage the ...I heard she has done some pretty high mileage the last 2 years or so.

Top 10 finish at NCAAs this year as well as 2nd in the 10k last outdoor season. She was a bit under a 5:30 miler in high school (though she did have some much better cross country performances... but still). <br /><br />Just shows that there are a lot of runners who can come out of the woodwork and excel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-62122700192645912802010-01-05T12:45:48.185-08:002010-01-05T12:45:48.185-08:00I saw many posts about Stephanie Wilson on the mes...I saw many posts about Stephanie Wilson on the messageboards and her stunning improvement.<br /><br />In high school, Nicole Blood could have probably run close to 3 miles at the same pace as Stephanie Wilson's mile PR. <br /><br />Now, many years later, Blood and Wilson were virtually neck to neck at the West Regional meet and Wilson beat her by some places at NCAA. <br /><br />Doesn't she also have one more year? Excited to see what she does on the track this year, as well as xc next year. <br /><br />One thing is that since she started running in high school, she has improved every single year.impressed runnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-30440222905733181632010-01-05T12:40:58.748-08:002010-01-05T12:40:58.748-08:00One of the stories of the NCAA meet I think.
