Riker Danzig is excited to cheer on our incoming fall associate Ashley Higginson as she begins U.S. Olympic trials competition for the 3,000 meter steeplechase. Ashley, a Princeton University and Rutgers Law School graduate, was a 2014 Riker Danzig summer associate, and pursued her law degree while simultaneously training to qualify for the Olympic team.
The USA Track & Field Olympic Trials begin Friday, July 1st in Eugene, Oregon, with qualifying races in the women’s steeplechase taking place at 7:03 PM ET on Monday, July 4th, and the final held at 10:48 PM ET on Thursday, July 7th. The final will be televised on NBCSN. NJ.com published an article on Ashley, recounting her journey: Rio 2016: How this N.J. runner tackled law school while training for the Olympics.
On the cusp of making her Olympic dreams come true, we wish Ashley the best of luck! Come on, Ashley!
