My cousin, Krista Seibert is a marathon runner and just ran in the Olympic Marathon Trials. Way to go Krista! She came in with the top time and here's what the Boston Globe Newspaper had to say:
Top US entrants need a little introduction
With the top 150 women running in yesterday's Olympic Marathon Trials and most of the best-known men either injured (Mbarak Hussein, Nate Jenkins) or prepping for Beijing or this summer's track and field trials in Oregon, the primary US hopefuls for this year's Boston Marathon aren't quite marquee names.
The top men's qualifier (2 hours 16 minutes 58 seconds) is Nicholas Arciniaga, a 24-year-old from Rochester Hills, Mich., who trains with Brian Sell, who'll be competing in the Games. The top woman (2:47:15) is Krista Seibert, a 35-year-old from Powell, Ohio. Last year's top American finishers were Peter Gilmore (eighth in 2:16:41) and Deena Kastor (fifth in 2:35:09).

Barry,
Thanks for putting Krista's name out there. Now others will be watching for her hopefully. Isn't she awesosme?? I thought it would be David Hughes who would go to the Olympics but he didn't make it. I'm so proud of Krista.
