Bizzarri appreciative of those who helped herPublished by
Modest Bizzarri appreciative of those who helped her to the top
Rosalind Dumlao Sports staff writer, blogger
Editor’s Note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down on Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success. Angela Bizzarri hopped off a plane about 400 miles from LAX after being crowned the 2009 NCAA national women’s cross country champion last Monday. But Bizzarri didn’t travel to California over the Thanksgiving break to claim her stardom. Instead, the senior visited family in San Francisco and participated in another running event that she called a “refreshing change.” “I did (run) a ‘Turkey Trot,’” Bizzarri said. “My dad ran, so I said I would run with him.” For Bizzarri, running with her dad or supporting her family at any local racing event is one way she can give back the support they’ve given her. So when she spent time with her extended family after winning the national title, the least she felt she could do was share the experience with them. “I get excited and a big realization of what a big accomplishment it is, but I enjoy seeing the people around me that supported me,” Bizzarri said. “I feel like I’ve made sacrifices, and I’ve trained hard, but they’ve done the same. My parents have gone to a lot of my meets and have made sacrifices to see me.”
