Alica Schmidt competed in the German Outdoor Nationals, where she finished third in the 800m heats with a time of 2:06.47.

Reflecting on her season and the lessons he took away from it, Schmidt penned a long post on Instagram, reading:

"This season really put me to the test this year. Tough races, lots of lessons, and a whole lot of growth. It wasn’t the season I was hoping for, but it was definitely the one I needed. Unfortunately I caught Covid a few days before Nationals, so I wasn’t able to show up at my best, definitely frustrating. This year is about committing, learning, challenging and accepting. Everything I need to learn on how to tackle the 800m."
