Quote from Margaret Ann Healy

"I was looking forward to seeing where I was after coming off a strong team season in cross country. The race went out hard, so I stuck with the competition and moved up when the pace slowed. It was great to see the clock at the finish line and then get to celebrate with my teammates, and I'm so excited about the potential we have this year!"
