This is a strange happening..The country's top high school 200m runner, Lauren Rain Williams, signed a NLI with USC last fall. According to former UO star Jasmin Todd's mother, Lauren just committed to Oregon. I went on her Twitter page and sure enough Lauren has indeed switched to Oregon.
This is great, and very strange. There must be a story here. Lauren got injured a couple of weeks back. Did USC let her go under some kind of injury release clause? Did Lauren fail to qualify for admission to USC?
We'll get to the bottom of this. AJ, here's your interview.
Lauren is, or was, the top ranked all around girl's high school sprinter in the US. Oregon put on an all out blitz to recruit Lauren, but wound up finishing a close second to the home town Trojans. What effect will this have on Jasmin Reed? Could this explain her visit to Kentucky? I think that we'll find out soon.
