The 2012 Olympic Trials Marathon brought us an Olympian, some personal bests, and great places.  Desiree Davila will be representing the United States in the 2012 Olympics to be held in London, England on August 5.  She finished 2nd in 2:25:55!  Dot McMahan had another top ten finish by running 2:32:16 to finish 9th.  Melissa White finished 13th in 2:34:33, Erin Richard ran 2:44:53, and Lavenna Mullenbach was 2:46:49.
