The AotW for June 15th-21st is Clara Grandt. Clara wins her AotW via her 4th place finish in the 10,000m at the NCAA Championships. Clara ran 33:45 in a tough race, leading a very large portion of it. Clara is a fourth-year Mountaineer, trained by Sean Cleary. This is Ms. Grandt's first All-American performance, and it was an improvement of 7 spots from her finish last year. She is a Doddridge County graduate. She also has the qualifier for USATFs, but I have not heard if she's headed out to Eugene or not. Tip of the cap to everyone involved, it really is something special to see a girl go from leading the WV State Meet to leading deep into the 10,000m at NCAAs. A special mention about Tone Belt (Berkeley Springs) who finished 7th with a HJ of 7' 1 1/2".
