After the race she said "Since heâÂÂs passed, right before I race I kind of have this moment when I get teary-eyed. It kind of lets me know that heâÂÂs here. Getting this medal is a confirmation of my training, how hard IâÂÂve worked emotionally and physically. IâÂÂm pretty pleased with myself."
In July 2016 she was officially named to Canada's Olympic team.
She was married to fellow national track and sprinter Justyn Warner, together they have one child.
In 2012 Holder was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
