Medaling at the world championships would have been one of Rogers' many running accolades.
Rodgers won the bronze medal in the 800-meter at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with a time of 1:56.81. Mu beat her by 1.6 seconds to win Olympic gold in that race.
In 2017, Rogers won the most prestigious college track and field award, The Bowerman, and her face was engraved on the Hayward Tower at the newly renovated Hayward Field. She's also a six-time NCAA Champion and a 10-time All-American.
In 2020, she moved from Philadelphia to Portland where she joined the Union Athletics Club, a Nike-sponsored team of elite runners coached by Pete Julian, formerly a coach for the Nike Oregon Project.
Rogers is one of five Union Athletics Club members that was set to compete at the world championships in Eugene this month.
The championships started June 15, and Sunday was the last day of events.
