Just in case anybody is interested, here's a link to the Women's 100m Final at the recent NACAC U-23 Track & Field Championships. Jeneba is in lane 3 and ran away from the field in a wind-aided 11.00.

Yup - this young lady is the emerging star of this team. Her improvement over this season past is amazing. She said it herself in an interview after the West Regional - in so many words - she has learned HOW to run.

Something our coaching staff does an awesome job of. They take these kids who are fast, but they're just fast for no particular reason besides god-given talent and fast-twitch muscles, and teach them how to technically become the fastEST in the nation.

That's a fact Blastoff - if you look at video of Jeneba from the Junior Worlds 2 years ago, compare them to the few that can be found from then to this year, then through early this season to the end, there is an very noticeable improvement in her technique and form. It shows in her progressive improvement in times.

Jeneba said it herself after 200m qualifying at the WRegional - paraphrasing - 'I finally ran my race by running right instead of trying to run fast, which made me run even faster'. I believe this young lady could break 11.00 next year and I wouldn't be surprised to see her double in the NCAA 100/200m before she graduates.

With the sprinters we have if any of the young middle to long distance runners develop and we pick up a few more difference makers in that area, we will be just about unbeatable.
