The Rundown
Yet another case of, “wow, I can’t believe she’s a senior!” Sophy has been front line of Adrian races for three years now, every season being the best version of herself. Late in the fall, her excellence was on full display.
An 18:40 at Portage kicked off October and from then on, it was a streak full of championships. Back-to-back league crowns were clinched first, with a 15 second win at the soggy Hudson Mills. Nine days later against many of the same teams, a regional victory. To cap off the impressive stretch, a 13th place at MIS that produced a shiny new PR, 18:25.
Her times over the years have significantly fallen from season to season. 20:16 to 19:03 to now, 18:25. What’s next?
