Who is the most successful athlete in Rhode Island that too few people have ever heard of?

Introducing Molly Huddle, an Olympian who is one of the best runners in the world, never mind the country.

All she did in 2014 was set two American records, establish personal bests at seven distances, everything from the mile to the half-marathon, and have a year that most runners would be crazy to even fantasize about.

She won the New York City half-marathon in March, won the 10,000 meters at the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore. won a national 5K, and finished fourth in the Beijing World Championships, after being caught at the finish line when she began celebrating too soon.
