In 2000, she was the Foot Locker National Cross Country Championships champion. COLLEGE At Stanford University, she was a three-time NCAA runner-up (track) and 7-time All-American. In 2003, with her third place finish, Sara led Stanford to the NCAA Cross Country Championships team title. PERSONAL Sara is very involved in her church and also has done activities such as homeless outreaches in Palo Alto. She speaks Spanish and tutors ESL children and does missionary work in Latin America – which she also plans to do after her running career. At Stanford, Sara was a human biology major with a focus in exercise physiology. She and her husband Ryan – who is also a top U.S. runner and a contender for the upcoming Olympic Marathon Trials - enjoy doing outdoor activities such as camping and road biking. 1 National Title road 5K - 2006 Source: Running USA – www.RunningUSA.org |
