Victoria Robitaille

I started running in middle school and was one of the slowest kids on the team. I was stubborn and wanted to prove to myself and everybody that I can do well. I ended up getting full athletic scholarship to a university in Ukraine and had a successful collegiate career. After I moved to USA I ran to meet people and join clubs and ended up being competitive.
