Incredible! 8 months pregnant athlete runs 800 meters race (See photos)

American athlete, Alysia Montano put aside the fact that she was carrying an 8-month pregnancy and ran 800 meters in the US Track and Fields Championships yesterday. Montano, a 5-time national champion, finished the race in 2 minutes, 32.13 seconds in the qualifying rounds, barely seven weeks before she’s due to give birth to her first child. The 28-year-old, who is a former University of California star, finished last in her heat but that didn’t matter to the crowd gathered at the Hornet Stadium. Trailing the lead pack by more than 120 meters for most of the race, Montano received a rousing ovation as she finished her first lap and the cheering grew louder when she finally crossed the finish line.
