Katie Miale has strong race at Owego

Congrats to racewalker Katie Miale on her strong showing on a humid Sunday morning in upstate New York. Katie continues to chase the Olympic Trials standard of 1:48:00. She was ahead of pace for a while on Sunday, but the humidity got the best of her. Coach Chuck drove up to Owego (the county seat of Tioga County!) after the team BBQ on Saturday night. He was there for the 5:30 a.m. start, cheering her on every step of the way and giving astute coaching advice to others during the race; he has become quite the racewalking expert and he is a known quantity at these events! Katie beat racewalkers who are usually ahead of her and she feels she’s in the best shape of her life. She’ll continue to crank, with the next big race the USATF Championships 10km event in Des Moines in a few weeks.
