\nHi Chris. That's a legitimate point for sure and since very few runners have ever won two national titles -- assuming that's the measurement -- it's a tall order to measure up to. I weigh time much more heavily because each year there are different levels of competition, so a national champion one year could be 45 seconds slower than the previous due to a slower field. That said, I'm basing Eastman's prowess on her times on similar courses run by Sullivan and Chaplin, who placed top 10 one year at Footlocker. No doubt you are right that a national title would elevate her status big time. One thing I am confident about: Eastman worthiness as a member of the DyeStat top 30.
