Ybsports Staff Column,

Having to decided to forego her college eligibility at A&M this year, Athiing has become somewhat of a shining star and has transformed into that single minded focus in her bid to be the best on this planet at 800 meters. On Saturday at the famed Penn Relays Carnival, Athiiing added another medal of sorts to her growing collection. So one might be inclined to think that I am speaking of her winners watch which is given to individuals who show they are at their best at what they do, come raceday.

But that is not the type of medal that I am speaking about, it is the adulation and respect from an adoring crowd when it goes into its’ swoosh roar as they accept a new superstar into their club. It says you’ve made it and you are officially one of us now! In accepting her new role as America’s media darling, she’s been gracious to a fault, but what would you expect from a teenager two years removed from high school who hasn’t fully comprehended how bright her star shines.

Ybsports Staff Column,

Being surrounded by the media constantly is all part of the new found fame Mu is learning to deal with day to day.

Olympic Gold Medalist Athiiing Mu and fekkow Olympian Ajee Wilson, are all smiles after the race is over.

To win a star studded race that features a present day Olympian and two other Olympic competitors, it takes one thing and one thing only…Big Energy! But Big Energy doesn't seem to serve a purpose here as Mu's running style is as smooth as silk, and at times she doesn't even appear to be breathing hard or even breaking a sweat!

A year ago Athiiing Mu was prepping for the NCAA’s outdoor Track & Field Championships being held at Eugene, Oregon’s famed Hayward Field Track, before going on to win a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics.  Since winning the Gold, Ms. Mu has enjoyed the kind of attention reserved for sports royalty. At this year’s Penn Relays, Athiiing added another medal to her collection when she won the 600 meter run after waltzing past another Olympian, Ajee Wilson at about the 450 meter mark.
