Last week, Pass Christian native Cory McGee ran the 1500-meter race of her life, setting a new personal record by more than three seconds.
Now a first-time Olympian for Team USA, McGee says her road to Tokyo started on just about every road in Pass Christian.

I know where every little divot is. I just – it’s all in my mind.
