And now … the final result on this blog for the decade (more on “decades” later …): Katie Miale
participated in the USATF Indoor 5km racewalk championships at Gordon Fieldhouse at Rochester
Institute of Technology (RIT) on Sunday. She was aiming for the 2020 indoor
USATF 3km qualifying mark en route and missed it by just two seconds
(14:42.23). She continued on for 10 more laps to complete the 5km, finishing in
ninth place overall and squeaking out a 5km personal-best time of 25:56.04 (her
previous best was 25:56.81, set at the 2018 Penn Relays). Katie’s 1600m splits
on Sunday: 7:42.34, 16:00.70 (8:18.36), 25:01.44 (9:00.74). Katie was joined by
her best friend Carlye and her loyal Marist teammate Hogue, who lives in the
Rochester area. At the 2018 Penn Relays, she was accompanied by her coach,
Chuck Williams, whose expert training has guided her to a national caliber level in the
sport (she qualified for the 2020 US Olympic Trials at 20km racewalk). On to
the next decade!
