"Girl on the Run" continues the fictional story of Sarah Tucker, now running at Northwestern University in 1982, as she is introduced to college competition. After a tumultuous start, by mid-year it seems her collegiate career is on the brink of disaster. Only the chance to step away and a reassessment of her goals rekindles her desire to continue running. Although national level success as a sophomore still proves elusive, she redoubles efforts in pursuit of her goals - to be named as an All American and compete at the 1984 Olympic Trials.
