"I think it's going to be great seeing all of our training come together," Parker said. "Most of our training is a build-up from the summer for track season."
Parker placed second in the 5000 at the Wake Forest Invitational two weeks ago. This past weekend, at Clemson, SC, she raced in the 3000 and the one-mile. She earned top eight and top 12, respectively.
As a distance runner on the track team, Parker routinely goes through a different process than her other teammates. She and the other distance runners have been putting in a lot of time in order to improve themselves.
