LRC RRW: Laura Thweatt Motivated to Race USA Cross Country Championships At Home
Her coach Lee Troop: "There is no greater feeling than to win something in your hometown. That's what we really want to work on and focus on. It's sort of good for her, too, being a developing athlete to have to deal and handle that pressure. We saw Culpepper do it in 2007. When a local favorite can rise to the occasion, it can really be a great catalyst for moving along. ... This has been the only and only thing we've been focused on," said Troop. "I can't wait for tomorrow to be over. It's been a stressful three months for me."
