“Being able to run with them, a lot of it is just staying calm, and not trying to think, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re running with the fastest women in the world.’ It’s just trying to be like, ‘OK, focus on your race, focus and what you need to do, and stay in it.’” “I was a little bit star-struck,” said Seidel, who finished second at the US Olympic marathon trials in February 2019 to earn a spot for Tokyo.
