Former Weber State track and field standout Sarah Callister Sellers added to her professional running career with another record-breaking performance.
Sellers finished second overall Sunday at the Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota. She posted a time of 2:25.43 to take second in the race.
The time qualifies her for the U.S. Olympic Trials. It also breaks her lifetime best by more than six minutes. It is also the 15th fastest time ever run by an American.

She also currently holds six places in WSU career top 10 list and earned Big Sky All-Conference honors 15 times in track and field and cross country.
She also excelled in the classroom where she had a 4.00 G.P.A. in Nursing. She was awarded the prestigious NCAA Elite 89 award at the 2012 NCAA Cross Country Championships. She was also a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, the only athlete in Weber State history to earn Academic All-America honors three times. She was also twice named as the Weber State Female Athlete of the Year.
