Sara Hall, Marathon
Since shifting her focus to the roads, marathoner Sara Hall has caught the racing bug. Last October, the 38-year-old mother of four cast aside any disappointment from missing the U.S. team for the Tokyo Olympics with a runner-up, 2:22:01 finish at the London Marathon. Just two months later, she became the second-fastest female U.S. marathoner in history with a 2:20:32 win at The Marathon Project.
