Olympic marathon hopeful still in critical condition
Elite Wisconsin runner Jenny Crain, 39, remained hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday after she was struck by a car while running on Milwaukee’s east side, just blocks from home, Tuesday morning.
Described by many as a talented, focused and energizing force on the local and national race scene, Crain was considered something of a long-shot to make the U.S. marathon team at the 2008 Olympics.
Many fellow runners, both friends and admirers, have expressed on message boards here and here shock at the tragic accident and prayed for her speedy recovery.
