Sanford native’s Olympics quest
Sanford native Rachel Schneider Smith made her hometown proud once again when she competed in the 2024 USA Track and Field Olympic Trials held last week. She finished ninth in the 5000-meter finals. She dropped out of the women’s 10,000-meters with seven laps to go on Saturday. She was cheered on by her entire family who made the trip to see her compete one more time in what has been a very successful running career.
