Earlier this Summer, Molly Huddle became the fastest American ever, over the 10k distance. However, the success came among a 6th place finish at the Olympic Games, despite a time that would have medaled every other year.
FloTrack's Ryan Fenton talks with the country's top female distance runner about her reactions to the race, and her preparations for her first marathon. Huddle will be tackling the NYC Marathon on November 6th. The race is significant not only because it will be her first, but it also brings Huddle back to her birth state. Raised in Elmira, NY, Huddle rose to prominence in the early 2000's, running for Elmira Notre Dame as the sole member of the team. She came away with a fourth place finish at Foot Locker her senior year, as well as several state Top 10 All-Time performances.
