Oregon (Track Town USA) scholarship coming! American women have been amazing in track and field for a while now and keep getting better. Men are just not matching their wins at any level up through Olympian’s and World Championship's. That time for an 11 year old, just wow, with no coaching as a runner. I follow track and field religiously. Have been since Bowermen coached Pre as a Duck, and created Nike.
Sure you do not want to give her name with social media these days, but I will be watching for you (Farpoint) to post her progress. Just wow.
