  • Summary

  • “It would seem like they’d put a camera on you because you made the team, but I had no idea. It felt like I was out there for ten minutes, just waiting around for them to put up the team. It was probably only like 30 seconds to a minute. But I had no idea when I crossed the line that I’d made the team or that I had ran 12.3. I really didn’t know what to expect when I crossed the finish line. I was hoping for the result that I got, but I had no idea at that moment.”
    It took a 12.31s PB in the final to come up clutch and make her first U.S. Olympic team but it happened to cap an incredible comeback for Grace Stark.
    In this episode of Out of The Blocks, she talks to with Jasmine Todd on the process to get there, win the NCAA Championships and time her breakout perfectly. She also just officially signed a pro deal with adidas running.
