Tough Young Woman


Stanford track and field star Alicia Follmar became the embodiment of "no pain, no gain" after a hard fall in the Penn Relays women’s collegiate distance medley race at Franklin Field. While on the ground, she was spiked in the head by a fellow runner, but did not allow that to deter her from her goal of finishing the race.

Follmar, covered in blood and bruises as though she was an extra in a horror flick, grabbed her baton and finished the race in third place.
