The wait is almost over for former Binghamton University and Union-Endicott runner Emily Mackay as she will compete in the 1500 meter in the Paris Olympic Games on Tuesday at 4:05 A.M. Eastern Time, the race can be viewed on Peacock.

Fox 40 spoke with Mackay prior to making the trip over to France and she says she is looking forward to potentially not only celebrate her accomplishments but the accomplishments of her fellow Olympians. 

"I am really looking forward to spending some more time with some of the U.S. athletes who I've become friends with in the past couple of years." said Mackay. "I'm just excited that we get to experience it together because I always say things are better shared experiences and everything".

Mackay would book her ticket to France after finishing second in the Olympic trials back on June 30 where she would finish with a time of 3:55.90.
