(You can see how her kids turned out on Instagram!) Montaño ran at the University of California Berkeley where she won several national titles, which helped to launch her professional running career. At the 2012 Olympic Games, Montaño placed fifth but may be awarded the bronze medal due to pending post-competition disqualifications of two Russian athletes.
