One athlete did stand out from the rest, a girl who had her water on the table next to us but was clearly running with the first-tier female pack. It was Molly Seidel who ended up earning a place on the 2020 US Olympic team by taking second in the trials on Saturday. I was so excited to see one of the “underdogs” end up taking a coveted team spot! The victory became that much sweeter when I later read her background story. Molly worked two jobs, shared an apartment with her sister, struggled with injuries and the trials were her marathon debut. Just being a part of the Olympic trial action was a privilege to me, but seeing Molly take second firsthand was absolutely inspiring. This amazing woman will be on my mind, along with anyone else who may face challenges, as I return to the track.
