Sellers ran at Weber State University from 2009 to 2012 where she was a nine-time Big Sky Conference champion,[1] before a stress fracture of her left navicular bone forced her to cut her college career short. Her primary collegiate events were the 5K and 10K, while also competing in cross-country.[2]
In her marathon debut, she won the Huntsville Marathon in Utah to qualify for the 2018 Boston Marathon.[3] At the 2018 Boston Marathon, she finished second to earn $75,000.[4]
Her coach is Paul Pilkington (a marathon runner who won the LA marathon even though he was a pacer).[5] The NYRR announced on May 8, 2018 that Sarah Sellers will be running in the NYRR Mini 10k race in Central Park at 8am on June 9, 2018.
