Track and field: Illinois State runner, H-BR grad Audrey Harrod overcomes first major injury

“She was very eager to compete outdoors, even though we knew her fitness wasn’t where she wanted it to be,” Bovee said. Harrod remembers spending many days inside her door room at Haynie Hall, wanting to be outside training with her teammates. Often times during her recovery process, Bovee required Harrod to cross-train rather than workout with the rest of her teammates. “It hurt seeing everybody else go outside and do a hard workout, and here I am on the elliptical or in the pool,” Harrod said. “I have so much energy, and I can’t burn it off just cross training. “I get antsy.” (Photos provided)
