• Delete Other then small High School notability this doesn't warrant inclusin for her as a person. maybe at best a blurb in that schools sports section. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 14:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep. I agree that this individual's accomplishments don't meet WP:ATHLETE, but there seems to be significant external coverage in reliable sources on a national level, three that I note, and so I suggest that this article meets the general notability requirements.

• Keep This may not meet WP:ATHLETE, but it easily meets the "occasional exception" policy as someone whose accomplishments are so unique as to receive national notice in multiple media outlets - and done it twice in two years, at that. From that perspective, the general notability requirement is easily met. Acroterion _(talk) 17:44, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Strong sources (Seattle Times) and the fact that she won a track championship on her own, make her notable enough, however I wouldn't hate for this article to get copyedited.--Giants27 (t|c|r|s) 21:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

without changing my vote, I would say 3 or more keep votes and no other deletes would fall into this cat. WP:SNOWHell in a Bucket (talk) 22:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

• Keep I feel that the article could be enhanced by presenting the information in a more concise way. I found it difficult to assimilate in its present form. Being from the UK I am not familiar with the US athletics scene so am not sure why this is such an achievement, perhaps this could be explained in the article.

• Strong keep. It's snowing in Texas. Unique accomplishment noted in newspapers and ESPN. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:19, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

• Keep - Subject meets the general notability guidelines for inclusion with multiple reliables sources covering her. This is strengthened by the fact that the coverage is non-local, and has been sustained over the two years. -- Whpq (talk) 16:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. Has received the coverage necessary to meet WP:NOTE. Dawn Bard (talk) 20:20, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
• Delete High school competitors in athletics or other areas should not be considered notable unless national champions. DGG (talk) 19:46, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
