Headline: A Safe Distance.
Sub-headline: For Molly Seidel ’16, who willed her way to a medal in the Olympic marathon, battling mental health issues created a productive detachment from her ambition that’s beneficial in the long run.

There was a great video personality perspective on Molly right after the race started.


She got 4th in an exciting race *

Saw Her Twice on the Course...

..she looked strong, but the two Kenyans and Ethiopians were movin' it.
Still she finished with a personal record for her. Heal those two ribs and add a bit challenging conditions and Molly really comes to life.

BTW, people really respond well to her and were cheering for her big time.

I was in NYC to watch another ND alum, my son, also set a personal record on a great day for racing and spectating.


Nice full article on Molly in the NYT this morning. *
