A former college track and field athlete. Fails WP:NTRACK. I'm unable to find any references beyond normal reporting a track events and her college newspaper. Prod was contested with, "Our youth-athletes in Nashville TN truly look up to this young lady as a role model. I have used her story as well as this wiki many times with my youth athletes. She is inspiration for our athletic community." Bgwhite (talk) 18:49, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Has not had notable performances at senior national level or appeared internationally. Has typically ranked outside of top 20 nationally in her specialist event. Only moderate achievements at younger levels. SFB 22:42, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

 "Keep" This is an unfortunate example of the bias nature of Athletics. As a NCAA Division I athlete she consistently stayed within a ranking of 6th through 15th for her entire collegiate career. In addition, as a collegiate athlete, she was the youngest qualifier in her event of the Heptathlon at the 2008 Olympic trials. If this was a draft pick who easily stayed within a "Top 15" ranking of NCAA Division I Basketball players or a "first round" draft pick for NFL Football, the inclusion of a wiki page would not be debated. How do we further women's athletics or less popular sports with such steep expectations when celebrating their success? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TNRunner01 (talk • contribs) 03:10, 29 February 2012 (UTC) — TNRunner01 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. 
 * Comment. It is specifically NOT the intent of Wikipedia to "further women's athletics" or for that matter, to "further" anything else. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 23:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per SFB. I'm inclined to think that if there really was anything to the role-model claim, there'd be plenty of reliable sources saying so. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  02:18, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
