Show Notes
Helen Schlachtenhaufen is a 1500m runner. She recently placed 6th at the USATF Championships in the 1500m. Last summer she placed 5th at the Olympic Trials, missing 3rd place by just 2 seconds. She then went on to run her personal best in the 1500m in 4:01 at her first Diamond League in Sweden. Helen ran for Dartmouth and also ran for the Saucony Freedom Track Club for a little bit after college. She now runs for Nike which she announced back in March.
