The Rundown
I love it when things start to click and multiple times in Lillian’s short career, you’ve seen noticeable upticks. The first came gradually, a freshman cross country season that began close to 25 flat, but ended in a state qualifier. The next one came just last summer, transforming from a girl struggling to break 6 in the mile to one running near that pace for 5k. And the final one was taking it to even a higher level during indoor track, extending into this past outdoor season, where Lillian was on the cusp of reaching into the 4’s and 10’s. Whatever process she’s using, it’s working, and I can’t wait to see how she progresses from season to season to season.
