Former Little Rock Track & Field Runner Finishes Fifth at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games

BEIJING – Bree Walker, a former Little Rock track and field middle distance runner, finished fifth in the inaugural monobob competition at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
 
The three-time letterwinner for the Trojans is competing for her native Australia at this year's Olympics.
 
Walker fought her way back from 10^th place to finish fifth at the Yanqing National Sliding Center. Despite an exceptional final run in which she recorded the second-fastest time of the round, she fell just 0.43 seconds short of the bronze medal.
 
Her time in Beijing is not over, however, as she will partner with Kiara Reddingius for the two-woman bobsleigh event which starts on Friday.
 
During her career in the Maroon and Silver, Walker won a bronze medal at the 2014 Sun Belt Indoor Track and Field Championships in the distance medley relay, as the time of 11:59.12 was good enough for third at the championship meet. Walker's relay team included Cheryl Nolan, Ashtin Boykin and Emma Dahl as they ran the fourth-fastest time in school history.
 
She would also score points at the 2014 Sun Belt Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a sixth-place finish in the 400m hurdles as well as seventh in the 4x400m relay.
