by Larry EderStephanie Twell, who was 15th in Doha in the 10,000m, in 31:44.29, is racing the marathon in Frankfurt. It is her second marathon. She went to Doha to appreciate the Tokyo 2020 conditions. A fine cross country runner, Stephanie has taken that conditioning to the 10,000m, and now, the marathon. Self coached, Stephanie used her cross country experience to build a fine track career.
