"Run! Bear Run!"
Brooke ran an amazing race at State on Saturday! She had incredible competition in the 3200 race, which included the running phenom, Jordan Hasay, who won the race and placed 1st in the state for the 4th year! It was amazing to watch Jordan, but even more amazing to watch Brooke run with the fastest girls in California at a faster past than she has ever run and stay with it the entire race! She wanted to go sub 11 (finish the race under 11 minutes, which would be about 6 seconds faster than she has ever run the 3200) but she really wanted to go 10:47, which would be 18 seconds faster! She was so determined and ran a beautiful race, finished with a time of 10:48, with a 17 second PR (personal record!) As soon as she looked up at the board and saw her time, she started crying, tears of joy and turned towards all of us in the stadium, raised her arms up high in the air and had the biggest smile on her face!
Like I said, this year the competition was crazy! Even with her amazing time, she still finished 17th in the state of California! To put it into perspective, we looked up the times in the last 5 years 3200 races and with the time of 10:48, she would have finished as high as 8th or the lowest was 12th. 17th in the state of California is still amazing and since she is only a sophomore, she has a lot to look forward to!
