Emily Sisson ’14 in the news
Finishes 10th as top American at Tokyo Olympics
Emily Sisson ’14 led the U.S. women in the 10,000m with a 1oth place finish in 31:09.58. Karissa Schweizer was 12th in 31:19.96 and Alicia Monson was 13th in 31:21.36.
“I’m a bit disappointed, given how the trials went, but timing’s everything in this sport, and I feel like it was a bit off with timing it for the Olympics,” Sisson said. “So I’m still really proud of the effort I gave, and it was an incredible group of women that made the team, and we faced incredible competition.”
