L'AQUILA, Italy – Although the track season has come to a close for the 2023 season, the hard work never stops. Many athletes are already hard at work training for the cross-country season in the fall, with many racing in events throughout the summer.
For Saint Mary's junior Emily Field, her racing takes her beyond the US, as she'll head to Italy in August for the 2023 Youth Skyrunning World Championships.
Field will run two races over the course of three days, with the first being the Gran Sasso vertical kilometer race on August 4 and the second the Gran Sasso SkyRace on August 6.
