In the media conference after the race, Felix left open the question of whether she will enroll in the University of Southern California this fall or turn pro and train specifically for the Olympic Trials next year. "I will take everything into consideration and then decide," Felix said. She declined to give a timetable for her decision. White, who lost to Felix in the US indoor nationals and at Mexico City, admitted that losing to a high school runner depressed her. Along with nagging injuries, it had her on the verge of quitting. But White wrote a letter to herself on her laptop and kept training. White said Felix is a great talent, and told Dick Patrick of USA Today, "I wish I had that kind of confidence and talent in high school. Even when I was in college, I was so intimidated (at nationals) I barely made the final." White has come back from worse problems than losing to a younger runner. In 1994, when she was a junior in high school, she was attacked by a teenager with a knife at a San Francisco BART rapid transit station and required 30 stitches to close wounds on her face.
