Well, Cally got herself into the thick of the battle and kicked like crazy over the last 800 meters, moving into fourth place! While her 5000 meter and 10,000 meter personal bests are quite modest by the standards of those she passed, Cally shows lots of promise. Watch Cally Macumber in 2016!

This interview was done right after Cally’s race at the USATF Club Cross Country Champs, held on December 12, 2015. Special thanks to Cally Macumber! Oh, and Derek Lactoan for the picture!
