I feel like one of the only highlights of the “virtual” NXV competitions was seeing a few young stars rise to prominence. One of them easily had to be Angelina Perez, who threw down a massive PR of 16:39! That’s incredible improvement and puts her right up in the upper echelon of times ran this year. I just haven’t seen anyone else speak of her, so I thought she deserves some kudos. Excited to see what she does next, especially because her former PR was a 18:23~ish, from what I remember! This kids got the spark.

Also, this is her personal/training account that may be even more impressive

8.52 miles @ 6:15 pace, with her HR only at 148. Coaches would do well to pick up on this girl. She’s going to be tearing things up soon.
