HUNTINGTON – It’s an 810-mile, 12-hour drive from home to Huntington for Heidi Heiniger, but the Marshall track and field freshman will tell you it’s not always about the distance.
“It hasn’t been hard to focus so far because of where I am in the process,” said Heiniger, who has made her college debut throwing the javelin for the Herd. “It’s more about the process. I know that I can fix more things and eventually get there.
“No, I’m very focused on myself – that does sound bad. But to me, it’s ‘Yeah, they can go throw that, but hey, I can eventually do that, too’ – if I keep working toward it.
