Back from Budapest and her first World Athletics Championships, Brooke Overholt has earned some time away from the track.
The St. Marys native returned to Nashville this week after competing in the 400-metre hurdles in Hungary. A busy track and field season included competing at the Canadian championships, finishing second, and wrapped up with the dream of competing for Canada in the sport she loves.
"I was feeling confident and felt prepared going into the meet, I felt I was ready," Overholt told StratfordToday. "I was hoping to run a faster time or run closer to a PB or set a new PB, but I was a little bit off."
The 23-year-old ran a time of 56.20 seconds, which was not fast enough to get out of the heats at the worlds. Overholt stayed for the entirety of the event; her hurdles heat was early on and she was a part of the eight person 4x400-metre relay team, standing by in case other athletes couldn't compete.
