Sometimes, other people’s heartbreak can lead to another person’s dream coming true, which is what happened with Allie Wilson.
This week, Athing Mu and Jenna Rogers saw their Olympic hopes vanish in heartbreaking fashion. Mu, the 2021 Olympic champ and the American record holder in the women’s 800-meter, suddenly fell down on the track after getting her feet tangled with another runner on Monday during the U.S. Olympic Trials.
It was a devastating blow for Mu, but her absence led to Allie Wilson producing a breathtaking finish at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
With her finish, she became the first athlete ever from Monmouth University to make the U.S. Olympic track and field team.
After the race, Wilson said, “I heard it and I was just like ‘OK, keep running, it wasn’t you,’” Wilson said after Mu went down per NBC. “That, unfortunately, is part of racing. Things like that can happen.”
Wilson finishing second was great, but it is even better when you realize she had a time of 1:58.32, just off her personal best of 1:58.09. That is incredibly significant since the time is under the Olympic Standard, thus securing Wilson a berth on the Olympic Team.
Nia Akins, a former Penn standout, and Wilson finished in the top 2 in the 800-meters.
Allie Wilson Made Incredible Strides Since Her Disappointing Finish In 2021
28-year-old Allie Wilson, who won the 800 at the U.S. National Indoor Championship this past February, put the 2021 Olympic Trials behind her as she charged across the line in second place in the women’s 800 in 2024.
In 2021, she won her first-round heat and semifinal heat but finished sixth in the final.
