Once she even completed an 800! One of Elizabeth’s most outstanding achievements is getting a double pr at her last indoor conference meet. She loves the 400 because of how it makes her like she really must work for the results of her race. “It’s one of those things where your mindset was such a vital part of your race” and it taught her how to get out of her head and leave everything out on the track. Although she won’t be continuing track in college, she’ll always remember her coaches and teammates and what she’s learned about herself while competing for Waubonsie.
