Rylee bettered her 2017 Empire best of 4:56.32 from the Texas Relays with a 4:48.92 mile, equal to a 1600 in 4:47.25. Watch a video of the race here. Rylee was chosen as the Under Armour/Heart and Sole Redwood Empire Athlete of the Week!
The following week, Rylee ran the 6th fastest mile in the US this year, with a 4.48.44 at the Mt. Sac Relays. She then returned the next day to just miss the Empire record in the 800 with a fourth place finish in 2:11.91.
Only one time in Empire history has a girl gone faster and that was 25 years ago.
It was an Empire junior class record. Click here for a list of the top times in the US.
Meanwhile, freshman Kate ran a very impressive 3200 at Arcadia on April 7, placing 5th in the Rated 3200m. Watch a video of the race here.
Great job Rylee and Kate!
