Megan Morant took to social media to announce that she qualified for the Olympic Trials.

From Morant:

“Holy crap! I qualified for the Olympic Trials 🇺🇸🏃‍♀️😭
.
“I remember watching the Olympic Trials Marathon on NBC in 2020. A record number of women qualified to compete, and while watching, this crazy idea crossed my mind: what if you just tried?
.
“I was a has-been. My successful high school running career led to a DI college scholarship, but in college, things never really panned out. Deep down inside, I knew I still had untapped potential in running, but I often thought: who cares? What’s the point?
.
“I shifted my full attention towards building my career. I moved to 4 different states for work opportunities. I continued to casually run, signing up for marathon after marathon because it felt like the right thing to do. When it came to training and doing marathon specific workouts, again I thought: what’s the point. Who cares.
.
“That all changed upon watching the 2020 Olympic Trials. I saw a record number of women toe the line to chase a dream bigger than themselves. The field included working women, doctors, lawyers, mothers, professional runners and so many more.
.
“For the first time it really clicked in my brain that you don’t have to be just one thing. You can be a career woman, mother, and high level athlete all at the same time. Easy? No. Doable? If you want it to be: Why not? I was inspired. I got curious. I wanted to be there. I went to work.
.
“Over 6 years later, my dream is now a reality. With the greatest support system in the world by my side, I just qualified for the Olympic Trials (how is this even real?! 😭)
.
“I could write a novel on the journey it took to get here, but this post is already long enough and if you’re still reading, I love you!
.
“For now, I’m gonna go drink a beer, celebrate with my little family, and probably cry a whole lot more 😭 WE FREAKING DID IT!”
