Winning an Olympic medal hasn't slowed Emma Coburn's pace even slightly.

It has been nearly a year since the former Colorado Buffaloes standout made headlines at the Rio games, earning a bronze medal in the 3,000-meter steeplechase to become the first American woman to win a medal in the event.

Since then, Coburn has changed coaches, begun planning her wedding (to her new coach and another former Buffalo, Joe Bosshard), and, more recently, announced a new annual 5K she will host in September in her native Crested Butte.
