25 year old former CA state champ and UC Davis standout Sarah Sumpter loses battle with cancer
-
A two time conference champ, she was an inspiration to many over her five year battle with cancer. Very sad to pass at such a young age.

Wow, very sad. At the same time, she accomplished a lot in her young life and can inspire many.

ESPN also did a few stories on her. One on her battle with cancer:

and one with her eating disorder:

The fact that she was an All-American in xc in 2012 - two years after getting the brain cancer that ultimately killed her - is amazing.
Here is a tribue to her from Team USA Minnesota runner Jon Peterson:

Maybe ESPN can start paying attention to actual athletes with REAL courage, like Sarah.

These are great. Thanks for sharing!

Tragic. She fought hard for so long.
