Jenny Simpson ran 3:57.22 in Paris on July 5, 2014, then, returned to the US and trained for one month. Upon her return to Europe in August, she won a cold and tough 1,500 meters in Stockholm, then, won in Zurich, with a last step hold off of a hard charging Shannon Rowbury. 

For her amazing running this summer, especially her racing to the front of the 1,500m fields in August, RunBlogRun names Jenny Simpson our August RBR American Athlete of the Month.

Special thanks to the Shoe Addicts for developing the video of Jenny Simpson.
