  - 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.

    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.
