I am hardly what would be considered a "coach" on here, but I am a coach at the local middle school and I often look up hs races to send to the younger kids as a motivator to work hard, especially the middle school girls heading into HS. I've had a ridiculous amount of time on my hands, so I have been watching NXN, NB, FL and such and one girl stood out as the cream of the crop.
HART is the best of the 2020 class. I have seen a ton of debate on this site but what needs to be acknowledged is NOT ONE GIRL has shown as much bravery and grit on the course as she does! Footlocker 18&19, she is NEVER intimidated by the other girls. She knows she is better! Again and again she streaks right to the front of the pack and unleashes a MERCILESS pace! She truly is just like Pre! She will go down in history as one of the bravest hs girls runners. I cannot express my respect for this girl! She gives it her all and really represents what competitive running should be! Not slinking along and trying to kick to victory, she goes hard and fast and if she fails, she does so knowing she gave it her all. Excited to see her dominate in college, where she can REALLY race with brave runners of her kind.
