Molly Huddle was not sure she could win, with such a stunning field. But, Molly did persevere, and her win at the NYC Half marathon was the first win by an American ever at the NYC Half Marathon.
Huddle is the American record holder over 5,000 meters, and she is focused on running a fine 5,000 meters at the Pre Classic(May 30-31) and the 10,000m at the USA Outdoor.
In April, at the BAA 5k, Molly went on to set the AR for 5k with her 14:50. This video recognizes her fantastic performance in March 2015. Special thanks to the Shoe Addicts for all videos for the SATV+RBR Athlete of the Month series.
