Mary Cain, who in 2013 became the youngest U.S. athlete to make a World Championships team and turned pro at age 17 later that fall, left her Oregon base for her native Bronxville, N.Y., to train, according to the Oregonian.

Cain’s coach, three-time New York City Marathon champion Alberto Salazar, said Cain was still a member of his team at the Nike Oregon Project but did not want to discuss Cain at length, according to the report.

Cain moved from Bronxville to Portland after graduating high school last year, completing a decorated prep career filled with records and state and national titles.
