Underdog
On paper, Dakotah Lindwurm was a long shot to make the Olympic marathon team. Her high school and college running resumes were modest, especially compared to the NXN and NCAA champions also on the start line. She had the eighth fastest time going into the Olympic Trials Marathon. LetsRun didn’t include her in their top eight picks, and put her at #10 of eleven on their dark horse list.
But hers is a story not captured by statistics. Self-belief, grit, resilience, passion—these things can’t be measured but are every bit as responsible for her Olympic berth as months of meticulously planned workouts.

2024 Olympic Marathon Trials – Minnesota in Photos
The US Olympic Trials, like every marathon, has its own unique story with themes of accomplishment, heartbreak, redemption, breakthroughs, and underdogs prevailing. In an effort to capture some of these stories, we commissioned Katia Gaisford to be the the official Run Minnesota press photographer on the ground in Orlando.
Congratulations to all the athletes who participated in the trials on their accomplishments and to Dakotah Lindwurm on making the 2024 Olympic team!
We believed!

2024 Olympic Team Trials – Marathon
Minnesotans will have 23 athletes with local ties to cheer for at the Olympic Trials for the Marathon, and every one of them has taken a unique path to arrive at the starting line near Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando at 10 a.m. (EST) Feb. 3. Some were Minnesota state high school cross country champions, some ran at the University of Minnesota, some were middling DIII competitors, some are Olympians already—but all trained intensely to hit the new standards to qualify for race.
