Alica Schmidt reflects on competing in her first 800m event at the Nationals
In February, Alica Schmidt participated in her first 800m race event at the Nationals. She captured the fourth position and won the silver medal in the women's 4x200m relay race event. Through her Instagram post, she mentioned:
"First 800m at nationals are in the books! It didn’t go as planned, and the final was a very tough race for me. Overall I became 4th and I’m not satisfied with that but it‘s just the beginning. I knew before my indoor season that my first races wouldn’t be easy and there’s a lot to learn especially tactically."
She continued:
"But I‘m happy to take away silver with the girls over the 4x200m relay ❤️🔥 always the best to race with your team"
Alica Schmidt has won medals at the European Athletics U20 and U23 Championships.
