Laura Pellicoros' Journey to Indoor D1 Track and Field Nationals 2022

Laura Pellicoro doing pre-race strides the day before the race. She is getting ready for an indoor mile at the University of Washington where she is ranked 19 in the nation with a time of 4:39. Top 16 go to indoor nationals in Alabama. 

The whole indoor stadium is silent as Laura and her competitors wait for the starting gun to go off. 

Laura is one lap into the race and is on pace to run faster than 4:39. She is feeling the fast pace but looks very confident with how the race is going. 

Laura is starting to pick up the pace with one lap to go.  She realizes that if she runs hard the final lap she could win and run a new personal best. 

Laura gave everything she had in the race and realizes she took 4th place is a very difficult and fast race. 

Laura and her teammate Veerla are celebrating Laura running a new personal best of 4:37, however she still is ranked 19 in the nation with other collegiate girls running just seconds faster. She will have another try next week to qualify in the mile.
