The South Shore's Olympic hopeful remains confident an Olympic qualifying time is near. Jenna Martin says she is running the best she ever has and is close to reaching this summer's games in London, England. Martin is training with runners who have won medals at the World Championships and Olympics before. She says it helps her prepare.
"Running against athletes that are potentially better than you or that I can possibly beat, it's just motivation to bring out the best in me and that's exactly the meets that I need in order to race Olympic 'A' Standard."
Meanwhile, the coach for Martin feels the Bridgewater runner is getting stronger each day. Charles Scarrow says Martin has been training extremely hard in preparation for the London Olympics in August. He says all signs indicate Martin will break out at any time.
"We both feel she's in the best condition of her life, you know, physically, emotionally, technically. Training has been great, her training partners have just been fantastic and all her workouts show that Jenna is ready to run fast, very, very fast."
Martin will compete in St. Marten's in the Caribbean Saturday before travelling to the Cayman Islands for another meet May 9. More of the interview with Jenna Martin and Charles Scarrow can be heard on this weekend's South Shore Sunday Morning.
