Great interview, Mark! Amy's mom Linda and uncle Bruce Dixon attended Chesterton (Indiana) High School which has a great track and distance racing tradition. I bet Amy's family wasn't TOO upset that Amy took to running from that very first race in 1988! Best wishes in Beijing!

I had the good fortune of watching Amy run during her high school career in Indiana, and will never forget watching her run people into the ground at the State cross finals at Southeastway Park. It was awesome to see her achieve her ultimate goal.

Great interview. Thanks. Great hearing what goes through an Olympian's mind during a race. Great race, Amy. Hats off to Alberto, great coaching telling Amy not to go out hard and pull people along with her. Also, great prep of his athletes. The 600s in practice had Amy ready mentally. Negative splits are the way to go. Alberto was a great runner but he may be a better coach.

This may be your best work yet, Mark - very disarming and casual, she really opens up. What a story to tell, and what a triumph.

Amy Begley UNCUT

Amy Begley had to run a sub 70 sec 400 on the last lap to make the Olympic Team, which was a dream of hers since her first race when she was 10 years old.
