Im 72, watched many races at all levels. Ive seen some impressive records set. It is always very exciting to be able to watch some young athlete give a performace like this. That young lady started that race in high gear and in the last lap she hit overdrive. What a race.
-
Very respectful of the young lady around 13:40 who was aware of Leachman coming up behind her and moving over a lane to let her pass.
-
That girl was like a machine. Kept consistent the whole race. Congratulations to her. That is awesome.
-
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes. She has it all. The body, the heart, the mind, the focus, the determination, the spirit, and the love of running. This is what true freedom looks like.
-
This video was awesome. Her speed was incredible. No overwhelming commentary, no video cuts, replays, etc. It shows what itβs like to be there in a stadium witnessing history, and my god she was moving!
-
Don't know how it ended up in my feed, but that was tremendous! I couldn't believe what a fast burst she put on right at the end.
-
Incredible, protect women's sports
-
WOW, absolutely incredible. 16 people lapped. Amazing π

As a dad with a son and a daughter who both run competitively, this was emotional for me. What heart this young lady showed. How wonderful that the crowds were led to cheer her on. Beautiful to watch. Love from Sydney - Dave

This girl is plays in a different league, is from a different planet... She is wonderful!
-
Way to go Elizabeth. I just saw this video and I'm sure everyone like me, is proud of you. God knows, your hard work is paying off. Keep going for it, God bless you.
-
Wow, from start to finish! Her family must be so very proud!!!
-
Incredible Record! Her sustained speed was insane!
-
She's what 15? It is early in the season, no competition. Whew! Keep injury free, my girl. You're going places.
-
when this video started, it looked like she was sprinting and the rest of the pack was just 'running' but she kept up at that blistering leg speed --AMAZING--My God does she run!
-
Thatβs insane. My fastest 5k was 17:15, when I was in the Marines. A grown ass man, and she blew my time out of the water!!! Freaking Outstanding
-
That was truly amazing. That is an outstanding performance for any high school athlete, but for a sophomore to do it is unbelievable. Elizabeth Leachman? I'll remember that name. Very well done. Her running style, while being used for a distance race, looks to me like that of sprinter Michael Johnson.
-
At about 3:29 she is running so relaxed, the camera is zoomed in on her, and you can see her smile as she rounds the curve. She is definitely feeling good. It is such a blessing to be able to watch such a talented athlete performing at such a young age. Good things are ahead for her.

Elizabeth Leachman<>This standing ovation is for you<>Still Standing

Wow Elizabeth, Iβm 69 tomorrow and I was moved after seeing this run to respond. Never done this before but by your amazing performance, grace and sheer determination, I gotta say what you have that is so rare, take care of it and continue to nurture it. It is your ticket as long as you want. Great job!ππΌ
