Great to see. And while it is always great when UMass has an Olympian, this one seems a bit bigger since it's an individual sport vs a team sport. Also, how she got there after, literally, being bumped out of the running makes it one hell of a story. Go U!

^^+1 Watching the video it seems like the announcers did not expect her to finish in the top three. Never underestimate a UMIE!!!

Heather did not qualify for the final. Her race was early this morning our time.

@heathair31’s Olympic run ends in the semifinals, but we couldn’t be more proud - UMass’ own out there with the best in the WORLD is and will always be awe inspiring
