One way to address the bat-lag/early elbow slotting would be to emphasize separation of the back elbow at toe touch (some people call it loading the hands or "walking away from the hands" at toe touch).
It looks like Abby starts slotting the elbow/decreasing the space between the back elbow and torso as the front leg is striding, when she should be increasing the space between the back elbow and torso during the stride. I use "get stronger at toe touch" as a cue to address this.
The elbow shouldn't start slotting/getting to connection until the front heel plants and the hips begin to start rotating. It will increase her power and improve the hand path.
