Look out for Alexi Pappas at the Olympics in August. She is a Greek-American long-distance runner. Pappas will run in the 10,000 meter event for Greece. She grew up in the United States but her grandmother was born in Greece. That is why she can run for Greece at the Olympics. Pappas is not just a runner. She is also a writer, actor and filmmaker. Her first full-length movie, “Tracktown,” came out this summer. The film is about a young woman training in a small city in Oregon for a chance to compete in the Olympics. Just like Pappas. And Pappas plays the character, named Plumb Marigold. Plumb is trying to balance her training with her interest in having a social life. A love interest develops when she meets a man at a bakery. “Tracktown” is named for the city of Eugene, Oregon. Eugene is called Tracktown because it is an important place for track and field events in the U.S.
