Jackie Pirtle-Hall Does It Again!!

Emerge athlete Jackie Pirtle-Hall won another marathon over the weekend.
But that’s just a small bit of the story.
HOW it was won makes this one special….
“Pirtle-Hall spent the majority of Saturday’s race in second place among the women’s runners — approximately 25 miles worth of second place, actually. She steadily gained on eventual runner-up Truphena Busienei with a mile left to run and passed Busienei a half mile from the finish.”
