She has a PB of 6115 in the event which qualifies for the US trials but is short of the 6400 Olympic Standard.

So I think she is a bit of a long shot for the upcoming Olympics.



Surprising, she's had such a great collegiate career.

Are the others a bit older and have had more time to develop?
That’s a big part of it

I think most of the Decathletes and Heptathletes hit their prime at an older age, probably in the 26-30 range.

The key is to keep improving in multiple events and not hit a plateau.
