Blood Sweat and Tears - Penn Relays 2008
April 30, 2008 by Jimson Lee
Thanks to Wejo of LetsRun.com for pointing this out.
At the 2008 Penn Relays, Stanford’s Alicia Follmar took a hard fall on the leadoff leg of the women’s distance medley. While she was on the ground, Follmar took a spike to the head but got up to finish a gutsy 3rd.
Check out the skin burns on her right side of the body from the synthetic track. Talk about blood, sweat, and maybe tears.
If this was boxing, the race could be called off by the referee. If this was basketball, she would be substituted for another player until fully bandaged.
If Alicia Follmar doesn’t have a career in running, she should consider Rugby or Ultimate Fighting… this person is tough as nails.
