"We don't really have an iconic location around here but our photo is iconic in a way because we're Tebowing," McDermott said. "That's what we went with."
McDermott enlisted the help of the school's JROTC to pose with her in the photo.
Now Overlea High needs your help to pull off a victory; voting in the contest ends on Feb. 23—this Thursday.
"It's a pretty big deal, this is the fourth largest marathon in the country," McDermott said. "Oprah's done it. Last year I saw Drew Carey did it, and that was a big deal for me. I had to beat him — and I did by 15 or 20 minutes."
