Annie Kunz Bio:
The heptathlon, which consists of the 100-meter hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200-meter dash, long jump, javelin, and 800-meter run, requires a variety of skills.
Kunz has always been a stellar athlete, but she has taken her game to new heights with a more dedicated nutrition program and mental coaching. She used the downtime of the pandemic to fine-tune those aspects of her training, along with sneaking into parks and fields to get in workouts at a time when many athletes were shut out of training.
