Now I didn't grow up running, so I don't know what makes a fast kid's time but that seems dang fast for a 10 yo girl. She beat the second-place girl in her age group by about 30 minutes.

Anyone know how fast this is?
Did I read that right? She won by more than 30 minutes? That seems incredible, for a state summer games.

But yes, I believe 42 is blazing fast for a 10 year old girl. I would be lucky to break 45 minutes right now.
