Charlie Searle

Charlie qualifies via AVG: 1:01:36 and appears among the athletes receiving roll-downs into this Phoenix field.  

Phoenix storyline: debut energy. The first Elite 15 start is where you learn whether someone is here to participate or here to belong. Charlie feels like the second type: hungry, free, and ready to race above her seed because there’s no “pressure to protect” — only upside. Her biggest weapon in Phoenix will be racing without fear: staying connected early, then turning the late stations into a grind where experience matters less than grit. If she smells a top-10, she’ll fight like it’s a podium.
