Running Central
Missy has been racing on the roads since 1996. By 1999, Missy had qualified for Olympic Marathon Trials, been signed to a national women’s racing team, been accepted into the USATF athlete development program, had received NC Runner of the year twice, had received the LifeScan International Athletic Achievement Award, and … had learned to live, train, and race with Type 1 diabetes.
In 2005, Missy broke into the ultra-running scene with a record performance in her ultra-running debut at the Umstead 50 miler. In September 2007, Missy took second place at the US 50 Mile National Championships.
And, now that she has a significant part of her graduate school work behind her, she is focusing on ultra races and has begun training full-time again.
