Watch Kerri Gallagher at the World Championships!
Earlier this week Kerri Gallagher and Heather Lieberg were on flights to Beijing for the World Championship! A large group of their teammates got together and gave them a proper Oiselle send off with a video message and group cheer...it was awesome.
After watching Heather Lieberg's fall marathon and Kerri's US Championship 1500m, we knew these ladies were ready to fly! Tonight Kerri will compete in the first round of the 1500m. She is primed and ready to go after racing a 4:03 in Europe this summer. The women's marathon with Haute Volée, Heather Lieberg, will conclude the competition on August 29th. Let's get behind these fabulous women as they compete on one of the largest venues of track and field.
What else should you know about this weekend? All orders this weekend will ship with a signed Kerri Gallagher fan card! Yes, we take our fangirling very seriously.
