By Golly Miss Molly! A National Championship!
Junior Molly Seidel (Hartland, WI) won Notre Dame's FIRST EVER INDIVIDUAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP in Women's Track & Field yesterday!
Molly won the 10,000 meter event at the NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track & Field National Championship in Eugene Oregon! It's only the third time she's ever competed in this event!
I'm guessing the track world will now be calling Notre Dame "Distance U" -- since ND alum Molly Huddle '09, is the current American record holder in the 5,000 meters and now Molly Seidel '16, is the current National Champion in the 10,000 meters -- and the reigning two-time High School Cross Country National Champion Anna Rohrer '19 will be arriving on campus in August!!!
