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 perform at my best, which was definitely frustrating, she wrote. This year is about committing, learning, challenging, and accepting, everything I need to learn on how to tackle the 800m. Hoping to get my body 100% healthy again and squeeze in a few more races before shifting focus to 2026. Still completely in love with the process. 🫶🔥”, she added.At the German Nationals, Schmidt clocked 2:06.47 in her heat and finished third.
