There just aren't that many places where you can grow up that high. She's practically ... Kenyan.

\nWhat an athlete. Marketable and medal-worthy. If NB hadn't nabbed her maybe she would have been the first pro track athlete to sign their contract with a shampoo company : )","date_added":"Jun 11th 2013, 4:39pm","nest":0,"liked":false,"member":{"wally_id":"1082747","email_settings":"4294967295","email":"dbind4@aol.com","address":"DougB","gender":"u","member_id":"44418","member_name":"DougB","avatar_location":"av-44418.jpg","avatar_type":"upload","avatar":"\/\/www.runnerspace.com\/forum\/uploads\/av-44418.jpg"},"can_delete":false,"item_id":157677,"item_type":"news","pb_image":"\/\/www.runnerspace.com\/forum\/uploads\/av-44418.jpg","pb_title":"DougB","pb_url":"profile.php?member_id=44418","pb_url_dns":"https:\/\/DougB.runnerspace.com\/","pb_wally_id":"1082747"},"805898":{"pb_id":"1111","pb_type":"members","likes":"0","parent_id":"0","pid":"805898","comment_id":"805898","member_id":"1111","comment":"

\nNot a bad direction to take. I am sure Jenny rejoining Wetmore and training with Coburn fairly regularly influenced her a bit. It'll be interesting to see how NB markets Coburn, as I believe she has the highest upside from a marketability standpoint at this time than any other U.S. distance runner besides Mary Cain.
\n
\nI also like that she's going to stay with Wetmore. Coburn knows what works and staying in that structured of a program should help her transition nicely into being a pro. That and the fact that she has Simpson around to teach her the day-to-day work she'll need to put in as a pro.
