Eloise Facher lined up at the starting line, peering down at a black shirt and shorts before the start of her 60-meter sprint at Youngstown State University.
Competing as an unattached runner meant Facher couldn’t be fitted in her typical blue-and-red Shaler Area track attire.
“It was definitely weird,” Facher said. “I’m used to running for Shaler and seeing Shaler on my shirt. I felt like I was running for a team, but I was running for myself this time. It was weird.”
