On Wednesday, three-time Olympian and seven-time USA champion Suzy Favor Hamilton will be the featured speaker at the Essentia Health Fit-n-Fun Middle School Assemblies in Duluth.
Hamilton, a U.S. Olympian at 1500-meters in 1992, 1996 and 2000, will give presentations to Duluth students Wednesday at Woodland Middle School and Thursday at Morgan Park Middle School.
“We are thrilled to have Suzy joining us for this youth program,” said Scott Keenan, executive director of Grandma’s Marathon. “She is an American running star and she will have a great message for the students.”
