This was one of the most amazing races i've seen... having clinched the state championships in her age group she's now racing up against girls that are two and three years older than her... one is a national champion and they're ranked number 1, 2 and 3 in the country... yet she and those girls were so evenly matched that the four of them were locked together pacelining for 14 miles! That's a pretty amazing feat when you realize that a couple of them are almost a foot taller and considerably larger than she is!
