Boerne Champion's Elizabeth Leachman turned in two more record-setting performances at the Nike Indoor Nationals in New York City.
In the moments after smashing yet another high school record last Saturday, Boerne Champion’s Elizabeth Leachman looked like she had just breezed through a light jog. There was no panting or perspiration to betray the fact that the Texan had just clocked a 5,000-meter run in 15 minutes, 28.90 seconds at the Nike Indoor Nationals, besting the former top national mark by a full nine seconds.

Yeah, I feel like it turned out how I hoped it would.” The entire trip seemed to go exactly as desired, in fact. Leachman’s 5k masterclass came just two days after another historic performance.
