Katelynne Hart participated in one of the fastest "deuces" in American girl history
Cool temperatures in the 60's pre-dominated meet talk at the Brooks PR Invitational held at Shoreline High School. Three Illinois lads ventured into new territory over the weekend. Although the final results indicate less than what they wanted to run, they should be commended on a wonderful season.
The first race of the day was the girls two-mile which featured the top girls in the country including Brie Oakley (Grandview, CO) and Claudia Lane (Maribu, CA). The two titans set an impressive early pace that left the rest of the field in its wake.
The first mile was incredibly fast in approximately 4:55. Glenbard West freshman Katelynne Hart tried to hang on in 4:57 but was eventually worn down and finished an exhausting 6th place in 10:19.29. She would finish the year as the #2 freshman in the country behind third placer London Culbreath (Mckinney, TX). However, it was all U of California bound Oakley who got the final say as well as the meet record and second fastest ever clocking for 2miles behind Mary Cain (New York).
