[1] Her selection was challenged by Joanna Mills, and Cuddihy was removed from selection. Cuddihy then appealed that decision, and was reinstated. [2] [3] The relay team, including Cuddihy, was one of 16 teams that made Olympic qualification. [4] The team finished in sixth place, with a season best time. Cuddihy, although a member of the relay team, did not get to run. [5]
