Tracey Brauksieck qualified for the 1999 Foot Locker National Championships and finished 29th (in 18:17) that year before having a sub-par season in 2000 while recovering from a stress fracture in her hip. In 2001, Brauksieck is back. She safely qualified for Nationals by finishing 3rd (18:00) at the Northeast Regional and is running better than ever. She won the Manhattan College Invitational, Section III Championships and NYSPHSAA B Race before taking second to Molly Huddle at the New York State Federation Meet.
