bottom line? you better be ready to go on any event that you are asked when line up is made. and that might mean all around. the only time someone becomes a "specialist" is if they really suck (i mean that endearingly) compared to anyone else that week prior to competition when they prepare to make that line up. or because their bodies just won't allow them to compete certain events because they just can't do it anymore. it happens.
This is exactly what I meant by "they are looking for all arounders"...while realistically your kid may never compete a certain event in college once she gets there, that will be the college's decision....and to cross events off your daughter's list of talents limits how she will be viewed by the college coaches.
