Many believe that Molly Seidel’s wins in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoors, and her win in November at the NCAA Cross Country were the coming out of the next great American women distance runner. This we do know: Molly Seidel’s win at the NCAA Cross Country broke the tradition that a FootLocker champion could not win the NCAA cross country. Coming from Notre Dame, Molly is the second athlete named Molly to do so well at Notre Dame (yes, Molly Huddle went to the South Bend institution).
Molly Seidel rose to the challenge at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, and won the race in style.
For her victory in cross country, and the wonderful win she had in June, we have given Molly Seidel the RunBlogRun Female Athlete of the Month award for November 2015.
