University of New Hampshire track star Elle Purrier St. Pierre qualified to race in the Olympic semifinals last weekend.
The Vermont-born runner finished third in her heat of the women's 15-hundred meter race with a time of just over 4 minutes and five seconds, just two-tenths of a second behind runner Sifan Hassan from the Netherlands.
The race marked Purrier St. Pierre's Olympic debut. She will race again at 6 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
