Jenny Sandoval is the 2022 NCAA DII 10,000 national champion, and now running as a post-collegiate elite/pro, she is focused on discovering her full potential in the sport.

It's been a time of big ups and downs, as Sandoval navigates life as an elite runner, with a full time job. Her performance at the recent USATF cross country national championships, held on January 11 in Lubbock, Texas, was a high point, after a period of serious injury.

Sandoval shares how it all went down at the national championships, from her point of view. And she shares the details of what running life has looked like over the past few years, including another surprise incredible performance, in her debut marathon: it was both a heartbreaker and a performance beyond expectation. Hear the whole story in this episode.

This episode is part of the WRS Race Report series. Each episode features a top 10 performer sharing her experience at one of the USATF National Championship races (the year-long series aspect of these races is apparently no more).

Next up on the calendar is the USATF half-marathon national championship, March 2 in Atlanta, GA. There will be a WRS race report episode shortly thereafter.

You can catch up on all the Race Reports on our website or on your favorite podcast app.
