In this week’s edition of Colorado Future Stars we’ll be highlighting recent standout freshmen performances.
Colorado, meet Maeve Vancik!
The Arapahoe freshmen recently had a massive breakthrough performance at the Pat Amato Classic, where she finished fourth in a personal best of 18:23.
The time sliced three-seconds off her previous PR – an 18:26 clocking from the Liberty Bell Cross Country Invitational.
Anytime you run faster than Liberty Bell it hints at a huge improvement.
Add that it was just her third time under 19-minutes this season, and her second under 18:30 (the other being Liberty Bell.)
It was also her second top-10 finish – her first being her high school debut, where she ran 20:14 to finish seventh at the Washington Park Invitational.
