South Shore native Jenna Martin says competing overseas at the World University Games and World Track and Field Championships was an eye-opening experience.
Martin returned to Bridgewater from China and South Korea last week after a sixth place finish and setting personal best times in the 4 x 400 metre relay.
She says she has more confidence heading into future events.
"I know after coming from this experience and running how well I did in the relay, I know I can make an Olympic final or World Championships final."
Martin says she didn't run the 400 metre event at the World Championships because her body didn't recover enough from the World University Games.
Martin is enjoying some time off before getting back into practice sessions around the first week of October.
