Molly Huddle (born August 31, 1984) is an American long-distance runner who competes in track and cross country running events. Huddle set the American record in the 5000 meters at the 2014 Herculis Diamond League meet in Fontvieille, Monaco (14:42.64). She also set the American record in the 10000 meters at the 2016 Olympics, with a time of 30:13.17.
Huddle currently lives and trains in Providence, Rhode Island. She is coached by Ray Treacy (who is also the Cross Country and Track and Field coach at Providence College) and trains with Kim Smith and Roisin McGettigan.
Huddle attended high school at Notre Dame High School in Elmira, New York (1998–2002), where she won multiple state championships in cross country and track. Her high school did not have a cross country team, so Huddle was the only member. In fact, they had not had a full team since 1987, however, a team was started in the fall of 2014.
Huddle twice earned All-America honors in outdoor track and field (one and two mile runs), while also garnering All-America recognition in indoor track and field and cross country as a senior. Huddle did not start running cross country until her senior year because her high school did not have a team, and ran as one-runner team in 2001, with her father as coach. Huddle was undefeated in cross country during the senior year regular season, winning conference, regional and state titles, set 12 course records and finished fourth at 2001 FootLocker National Cross Country Championships. Huddle earned two outdoor track conference, regional and state champion. Huddle won the 2002 Nike Indoor Classic (one mile) and 2002 Adidas Outdoor Championships (two mile) as a senior, setting a meet record in the former event (4:46) while she established new national high school record in outdoor two-mile run (10:01).
