Setting the Record Again

Elizabeth Leachman, a high school sophomore, just broke the national 5K record again. She starts out trapped in the middle, takes the lead in 20 seconds, and is thirty meters ahead of all the collegiate runners at the Texas Relays within a minute.You remember Katelyn Tuohy, who I have raved about the last few years?  Leachman is ten seconds faster already. If you want to skip to the fun part, she starts lapping nationally ranked collegiate runners like they are standing still at about the 12:32 mark. Lots of them.

That was astounding. The way she kicked up an already fast pace in that last lap was incredible.

She is already near the national collegiate record.
