In SPP / Pre-Comp they are doing 3 hard days a week (maybe even 4 if you include a possible pre-meet low-volume, high intensity day). During the competition season I moved to 2 hard days + one competition day this year. Although my group was riddled with injuries to my heaviest hitters, the group as a whole seemed to adapt better from this setup.

I have mine do special endurance about 1x / week.
Mike, does this include speed end. and spec. end. workouts? What does your SPP look like? I assume you have at at least three high intensity days…maybe four? Does this look like too much high intensity for a 17yo female, 2 years experience?
Day 1 Max V/Accel
Day 2 Speed End
Day 3 Off
Day 4 Max V/Accel
Day 5 Ext. Tempo
Day 6 Spec. End I or II
Day 7 Off

As for your setup, I think it looks like too much high intensity work, especially for a girl with such low training age.
