In her third marathon, she ran a patient race and a 4-minute personal best to place fourth.
She has no coach, no sponsor, and works as the executive director of a non-profit and a marketing consultant. And now, Jessica McClain is an alternate for the U.S. Olympic marathon team. McClain, 31, placed fourth in today’s Olympic Marathon Trials in 2:25:46, a personal best by nearly four minutes. And, she had a blast while doing it. “I did not want the race to end. With two miles to go, I was just soaking it all in,” she said afterward.
She started running at age 10 in Paradise Valley, Arizona, then competed at Stanford, where she was a specialist in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters and earned All-American honors her senior year.After finishing her master’s degree in 2015, she trained briefly with the Brooks Beasts, then stepped away from professional running. Her last pro race was the USATF 5K Road Championships in New York in November of 2019.She was scheduled to debut in the half marathon in 2020, but COVID scuttled her plans.
