Alaska's Olympian

Chris Clark, a pathologist, ran the race of her life during September's Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. "It's amazing to be done with this. And I'm so happy because I think I performed as well as I could have," she said after finishing 19th in 2 hours, 31 minutes, 35 seconds, a new personal-best time. Above, Lake Otis Elementary students gave Clark a sendoff to Sydney with a lap around the nearby Wendler Middle School track. Clark's sons Danny and Mathew, both Lake Otis students, and her husband, John, accompanied her. (Photo by Erik Hill)
