What's this?

I overheard some talk of having her work up to the 800 as she gets older

But she is pretty good at the 400 too. As an example, as good as Lindsay Butler is in the 800, she is a very good XC runner and I think she looks like an incredible miler in her future. She has run sub 4:35 in the mile (I think that is a true mile). Her DMR anchor leg is fantastic.
