Wow! USA Athlete Alysia Montano Completes 800 Meter Race While 8 Months Pregnant

Trailing the lead pack by more than 120m for most of the race, Montaño received a rousing ovation as she finished her first lap and the cheering grew louder when she finally crossed the finish line. An Olympian and still very strong even when 34 weeks pregnant, Alysia Montaño ran the 800m on Thursday in the US Track and Field Championships. 13sec in the qualifying rounds, only seven weeks before she’s scheduled to give birth to her first child. That’s why she did not even hesitate before running in the 800 at 8 months pregnant. Alysia Montano, 28, has been running throughout the entire duration of her pregnancy. The five-time national champion finished in 2min 32. That the 28-year-old former University of California star finished last in her heat didn’t matter one bit to the crowd gathered at Hornet Stadium.
