Being a true mid-distance star is not easy and there aren't a lot of them. Though you could define a mid-distance star by many different stats, for us a mid-distance star is someone who is overly successful in events 800 to 1600 meters in distance and just good in others.
That means a pure mid-distance star is not an athlete like Michaela Rose who is a 400/800/1600 girl or Sam Affolder who is a beast in XC, the two Mile, and really any distance event.
