The Rundown
Three one hundredths of a second. That’s miniscule, tiny, but a record is a record, and DeWitt’s 3200m record belongs to Kayla. That 3200m record was previously held by Kaitlyn Hynes, who is fresh off her second consecutive 5th place finish in the Big Ten 10000m.
That 10:54 had been building for a while. The first signs came about during the end of her sophomore cross season, where she ran in the low-19’s to place 5th at Region 14, then two weeks later, busted well past 19-flat at MITCA. Her junior year brought similar times, but a much more consistent close to the year, 130+ ratings in four of her final five races. You could see the signs in track too, as Williams lowered her 3200m best to 11:18 during her sophomore spring.
Perhaps a college choice of MSU to keep the tradition alive? Who knows, we’ll first enjoy Kayla’s senior year.
