After winning a Footlocker national title her sophomore year of high school in 2012, injury and surgery to both feet would side-line Anna Rohrer. However, she made an epic return to win the New Balance Nationals 5k on the track and then redeem herself as a Footlocker champion in 2014.

Now, as she concludes five years of running for the University of Notre Dame where she earned an undergrad degree in neuroscience and is about to complete her master’s in business; Anna reflects on how this opportunity allowed her to become a better version of herself as one of the most accomplished and resilient runners nationally. In this episode, Anna speaks on transitioning to college, gaining perspective while battling injury, faith, gutsy racing tactics, favorite memories, and some visions for a future in which tenacity will see her through to her full potential.

As a collegiate runner some of Anna’s accomplishments include...

• First from Notre Dame to be a four-time All-American in Cross Country
• Five time All-American in indoor and outdoor track
• Breaking Olympian Molly Huddle’s school record when she placed first against a field of pros to run 31:58 in her 10k debut at the Stanford Invitational
• Placing 6th in the 10k at the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships in which ALL top 6 women ran under the 30+ yr old meet record (the race Alice Wright took out as discussed in this episode)
