And that’s a wrap for the Olympic Trials!! Between watching Marielle punch her ticket in the 10k, racing myself, and watching many friends compete…can’t even begin to describe how emotional of a week it’s been! Thankful God gave me exactly what I needed to make this Olympic dream a reality: an amazing coach in Derek Thompson, incredible teammates, super supportive family and friends, and amazing sponsors in Adidas and Kellogg’s! THANK YOU to everyone for the support, many congrats, and well wishes for Rio! Can’t wait to proudly represent the U.S. of A.!!???? ?: @msonnenfeldt
