Femita broke a 15 year old record in the 100 meters at Trails, but she didn’t even want to go to the ones for Rio. It sounded too expensive and she could just run at a local meet instead. Her coach’s urging and her naivety brought her to sixth in 2016--on a jogging leg. She might not be as naive this time--and she’s not running on a jogging leg anymore.
