congrarulations to you!!! You're the 1,000,000th person to make a joke about Ms Trotter's name :)
But seriously, Mike,
This young lady is a really cool figure for a lot of female runners to look up to... if she can indeed beat her "eating disorder" it will be great not only for her, but the rest of the running community... she has explained her sickness and what she's doing about it on several Cross Country web sites to let the other girls know that they CAN get help.
I don't know what the exact % of girl runners who have "eating disorders" is, but it's the scourge of cross country; of the last 3 National Champs we've had from my neck of the woods, Sara Bei, Julia Stamps, and Amber, 2 out of the 3 suffered from this... it's a really scary disease...
peace,
