Sarah Sellers (née Callister, born July 10, 1991) is an American long-distance runner.
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.
Sellers placed 18th in a personal best time at 2018 New York City Marathon.[6]
