A strong day of high school track and field unfolded at the Brooks PR Invitational in Renton, Washington on June 7, as several young athletes posted times that turned heads across multiple events...Watch Angelina Alder’s race video below
The most historic result of the day came from 13-year-old Angelina Alder, who crossed the finish line in 4:38.25 in the junior girls’ mile. That time stands as the world best for ages 13 and 14, making it one of the most remarkable performances of the high school season so far.
Another young miler also made his mark. Fifteen-year-old Quenton Lanese took the top spot in the freshman mile with a winning time of 4:10.59. It was a strong showing from one of the youngest competitors on the track.
The men’s mile produced a headline result of its own, as Dylan Rowell broke the four-minute barrier with a clocking of 3:59.93. Going sub-4 in the mile remains one of the sport’s most recognized benchmarks, and Rowell cleared it on this occasion.
In the 110-meter hurdles — run at the high school height of 99 centimeters — Andrew Jones led the field with a time of 13.14 into a 0.7 wind. Josh Hamblin finished close behind in 13.24, making it a competitive race at the front.
The sprint events also saw quality performances. Under-18 athlete Aubrey Wilson won the 100 meters in 11.45 with a 0.2 wind reading. Ashtyn Lewis put together a solid 400-meter effort, finishing in 52.63.
Rounding out the standout results, under-18 middle-distance runner Paige Sheppard clocked 2:00.65 in the 800 meters, a solid performance in one of track’s most demanding events.
