When UCF senior Anne-Marie Blaney crosses the finish line in Terre Haute, Ind., on Saturday during the NCAA cross country championships, she'll think of her father.
Blaney said she is eager to beat his No. 22 finish at the championships during his college career.
Whether it was learning to ride a unicycle during elementary school to win some extra allowance money from her dad, waking up every morning at 5 to get ready for training or exchanging the latest nutrition news with her sister, a fourth-year runner at FSU, Blaney brings passion to everything she does.
