Continuing her campaign, Mary competed at the Grand Slam Track Miami, finishing eighth in the 1500m and winning the 800m. She then placed fifth in the 800m and seventh in the 1500m at the Grand Slam Track Philadelphia.
Despite these ups and downs, the Olympic 800m bronze medallist remains focused on her 2025 season`s goal.
