IMPORTANT MILE STONES:
l978 ~ Lynn Petronella became one of the fastest women marathon runners in the world running a 2:57 in Boston coming in 15 after only 7 months of training at high altitude in Boulder, Colorado then home of the male Olympic Winner of the marathon Frank Shorter of the USA.
1980 - After becoming one of the fastest 10K runners with a shot at an Olympic birth,
President Jimmy Carter cancels the 1980 Olympics dashing all athletes chances..
1981- Ms Petronella forms ATHLETTES...DEDICATED TO THE GREATEST ATHLETE ON EARTH..A WOMAN...to work with L'Eggs on the LARGEST all womens race in the world in Central Park and get the media attention, money and participation to get the marathon included in the next Olympics....along the way she befriends Joan Benoit and encourages her to continue to race and pursue the first woman's Gold since Ms. Petronella had wanted to pursue this in l980 and was prevented from doing so, she
wanted an American woman to rise to that level and was there to guide
and direct her during the next 3 years. Despite tremendous odds and
other talented international athletes. Ms. Petronella wanted an AMERICAN
WOMAN TO WIN....since she had put some much into the sport and wanted
to have had that chance for herself in l980 but was denied that opportunity.
1982 ~ MS. Petronella states over and over to the powers that be...."If a woman can be in labor for 30 hours, running in an Olympic marathon is nothing short of a warm up!" THE REAL WORLDS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IS...BIRTH™..... and women have been doing that for centuries with no medals, no media attention and no understanding of how amazing that TRULY IS! She continues to
guide Joan Benoit into believing she can and will beat the then world Champion of Norway Grete Waitz.....(see video clips on MEDIA PAGE)
1984 ~ With grit and determination MS. Petronella was able to coach, inspire and see Joan Benoit, win that historic race as an American in Los Angeles in l984.
