Taking on the WORLD!!!

I was going to put something up about this before Megan raced and then I saw "W"s post on the message board, which reminded me that the race is coming up quick and I better get my butt in gear.

Megan Metcalfe (former WVU National Champion) will be competing for Canada in the Indoor World Championships this weekend in Spain. She flew out earlier this week after knocking off a great workout(a 2K time trial going through the mile in 4:35!!) and looks to make a big splash in this loaded field. There will be a lot riding on this race, as Megan could earn her berth to the Olympics if she places well. Canada is infamous for screwing over their Olympic Athlete's with ridculous standards but if Megan can show she can compete with the best in the world then they'll have no choice but to give her a shot when the Olympics roles around in a few months. Here's hoping that everything goes perfect and all her hard work and preperation gets rewarded with a huge performance. Good Luck!

Keep updated on how Megan is doing with live results from Spain.
