Marla
ran in the 2000 Summer Olympics in
Sydney, Australia, where she proved
to be the eighth fastest 1,500-meter
female runner in the world! In
February 2001, she broke the U.S.
indoor track record for the
5,000-meter race by running that
distance in 15 minutes and 7
seconds. Now, that's impressive! In
May 2001, Marla ran at a race called
the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene,
OR, and came in first place in the
3,000 meter run. Go, Marla, go!
Marla herself is legally blind in
both eyes. Marla says her motivation
to keep running comes from her
desire to find her potential. She
wants to know how fast she can run
certain distances. Winning is not
her goal. Most of the time she likes
to concentrate on what she can train
her mind and body to do.
"Don't listen to
negative influences. Believe in
yourself, and show others what you
can do. Only "you" can find your
potential."
