But in this case, today is pretty good. On a blistering Saturday afternoon at Drake Stadium, Cain broke open the 1,500-meter run at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a lap remaining and held on for second place behind training partner Treniere Moser. Just a few weeks after the completion of her junior year at Bronxville High School in New York, Cain qualified to represent Team USA at the world championships in Moscow in mid-August. She is strongly believed to be the youngest U.S. athlete to make a worlds team in the 14 renewals of the event, which was first contested in 1983.

At the conclusion of her high-school academic year in Bronxville, a suburb just north of New York City (where Cain is an excellent student), Cain went to Park City to train at altitude with other members of the Salazar-trained Nike Oregon Project. Cain's family pays her expenses to retain NCAA eligibility. She will go to college, but the family has not yet decided if she will run college track.

She seems like an amazing athlete already at 17!

First HSer to make a National Team since Allison Felix 10 years ago.  But coached by Salazar out of Portland so I see like Felix pro  and college.  Would we or are we recruiting her ?  Of course. 

You know Kori Carter turned pro this week.  Nike will pay for school and graduate in March.
