Off to Tokyo!!! Finished third with a great final kick. Good for Heather and UMass.

Outstanding! She ran a great race. The announcers never mentioned her and she showed them that they should have.

Fantastic for Heather!!! An Olympian!
That first 20 yards of the start of that race was like a Rugby match!!!
Very tough going in the crowd! Great Race. No mention or closeup of her before the race.
She showed 'em!! Go Umass. :D

Great to see. And while it is always great when UMass has an Olympian, this one seems a bit bigger since it's an individual sport vs a team sport. Also, how she got there after, literally, being bumped out of the running makes it one hell of a story. Go U!
Stop waiting for UMass to do something big and help UMass do something big. - Shades

^^+1 Watching the video it seems like the announcers did not expect her to finish in the top three. Never underestimate a UMIE!!!

yep they sure had her pegged as an also ran. The Olympics is going to be a tremendous experience for her!
