About Kim
When Conley graduated college in 2008, she had a 16:23 PR and never made it to NCAA nationals – one year she had food poisoning, another year she lost her shoe during the regional meet. But Conley continued to train while joining the coaching staff of UC Davis and dropped her 5,000m PR by more than a minute from 2008 to 2012. Conley's set a PR at the prefect time as she delivered a big kick to finish third at the Olympic Trials and to nab the needed Olympic A standard by two-tenths of a second in order to make it to London on Team USA.
