State Championship PRs
Brenley Little
Lets start by taking a moment to examine Brenley's 5k Progression chart (which you can access with a premium subscription).
It takes a year for freshman to learn how to race a 5k and this can be best illustrated with Little's progression. Hangs above 23 for her first two races. Between 22 and 21 for her next five races, then finally starts to figure it out at regionals and state culminating in a 9th place overall finish in Class AA/A thanks to a 1:06 PR last Friday. As I pointed out in an article last week, the top five finishers from Region 7 were freshman with Brenley leading the way. While the pedigree of the boys in that division may get most of the headlines, the girls look ready to step after the Class of 2023 moves on and I for one am excited to see the growth of the sport in this area of the state.
Brenley Little won the Region 7 AA/A Championship with a time of 20:58. It was her first and only win of the season. Her 19:52 at Sanders Ferry was the 19th fastest time among freshmen across all classifications.
