In 2021, Norris produced a breakout year, winning races and setting numerous personal records, including in the 1500 meters (3:59.72, #9 U.S. all-time), Mile (4:31.39, indoors, and 4:22.71, outdoors) and 5000m (14:51.32). In August, she won the Sir Walter Miler in 4:25.92, a PR (her first sub-4:30).
After transferring from North Carolina, Norris competed for Georgetown University, earning All-American 5000m honors in 2019.
At Tenafly High School, she won four New Jersey state titles in cross country and track combined.
FUN FACT: Norris' husband is 2016 Rio Olympian Robby Andrews, and together, they are the fastest married couple by track Mile PR (4:20.81 + 3:53.16 = 8:13.97 or a 4:06.9 average).
