Racewalkers qualify for Olympic Trials!

We're extremely excited to report that Lauren Harris (fourth place, 1:45:17.64) and Kayla Shapiro (fifth place, 1:45:32.97) have both easily exceeded the 2020 US Olympic Trials standard in the 20km racewalk (1:48:00), based on their amazing performances on Sunday at the USATF 20km Championships out in Tustin, CA. Chuck was sending me splits all morning and the ladies crushed it, averaging between 26 and 27 minutes per 5km. Both easily exceeded the standard. This is so exciting! Congrats to Lauren and Kayla (and Coach Chuck, for guiding them and giving them splits every 1.25km of the 16-lap course)!
