"Grandview’s Brie Oakley had a better day. The nation's No. 1 ranked runner by Milesplit.com elevated to an earth-shattering performance with a time of 17 minutes, 7 seconds to claim the [Colorado high school cross country] 5A crown. To put that time into context, [Katie] Rainsberger [now the #1 runner at the University of Oregon] posted a 17:39 last year, which was the fastest time of the day by 35 seconds."
Oakley has been running for only about 15 months. This young lady has a great future ahead of her.
