I knew you’d love this farm.  :)

What I really love is Juliette Whittaker running 1:59.80 yesterday for #2 HS all-time! Hope she makes it to the Farm and doesn't sign a pro contract instead! :-) My goodness, she and Roisin Willis in the same class and both coming to Stanford. Amazing

Here is Juliette's race cued to the right time. She's in lane 2 wearing black. Always fascinated to see an elite mid-D runner with such a "shuffling" stride (low heel kick, low knee drive). It's rare.

It is extremely rare for American HS students to go pro in T&F. And even if she is a "pro," generally she can still run for Stanford with NIL in place.

I was half-joking, and of course it's rare. But it's also rare for a HS student to already be a threat to make an Olympic/WC team. Recent-ish pros straight from HS off the top of my head: Mary Cain, Ajee Wilson, Drew Hunter, Alexa Efraimson, and just last year Hobbs Kessler. I'm probably forgetting a few. Wouldn't surprise me if Colin Sahlman went pro. If Juliette or Roisin were inclined to pursue that route, it's viable.
