This is really one of the worst arguments that I have ever heard. You treat her style as a handicap when it is simply her style. Her record is what it is because she ran against a bunch of dogs most of the time on tracks that favored her running style. Nationwide stats are not relevant since she was running on unique surfaces 90% of the time.
