Our Frosh granddaughter Talli ran the 3,000 meters in a personal record time of 11:28 this afternoon in Gresham, Oregon at the Centennial High School Invitational Track Meet. Above, fourth from left, she is hitting the stretch and passing people.My initial understanding is that she ran a very disciplined race and came in 7th. This is VARSITY, folks, and she was running against sophomores, juniors and seniors from all over northern Oregon.
She’s learning fast how to pace herself and position herself for optimum results. She held to her splits really well, and while others initially got a bit ahead of her, she was rapidly gaining ground and passing people on the last lap.
Wow. VERY NICE run, Kiddo! You have a bright future in high school track.

Her dad might have looked up that she has the 10th best freshman time in the state for the 3000 this year (48th for all high school). He also might have looked up that she has the 5th best time in her district, all grades.
Wow! This is getting really interesting...
