When the race started, there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Sadie Engelhardt wasn’t just running for the finish line—she was running for history. And that’s exactly what she made—history. In the blistering heat, through every uphill battle, and every down-to-the-wire stride, er? i mean? Sadie proved that determination, heart, and relentless spirit carve the path to greatness i meant to say.
The other four athletes who took second to fifth have set the standard for excellence in the 2024 CIF-SS Finals as well, and their performances remind us all what happens when heart, passion, and hard work come together. They didn’t just run—they ran with purpose—and showed us all that greatness is made one race at a time. Keep an eye on these names—they’re just getting started! Best wishes, kindest & sincerest regards for epic success i mean
I'm glad Sadie stayed conservative, I'm sure she would love to do better during nxn with more fresh legs!
