Sisson finished runner-up in the marathon Olympic Trials with a time of 2:22.42.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Former Providence College All-American and NCAA Champion Emily Sisson '15 finished runner-up in the marathon at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in Orlando, Fla., on Saturday, Feb. 3. Sisson, who is coached by Friar Head Coach Ray Treacy, finished second in the marathon trials with a time of 2:22.42.
Sisson is one of the most decorated Friars of all-time. Over the course of her career at Providence, she won two NCAA 5,000-meter titles (Indoor and Outdoor in 2015), helped the cross country team win the 2013 NCAA title, earned 10 All-American accolades and won seven BIG EAST titles. She is one of only three Friars to have earned 10 All-American honors during her career.
Her career has continued to thrive since she left Providence in 2015. She ran her first marathon in 2019 in London, where she placed sixth in a time of 2:23.08. In 2020, she won the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 10,000 meters. Sisson then placed 10th at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 10,000 meters and became one of eight former Friar women to compete in the Olympic games. She set the U.S. women's marathon record, on October 9, 2022, when she finished second at the Chicago Marathon in a time of 2:18.29.
