“It’s not often that a prep girl runs sub-17:30 in South Carolina—in fact, the last time it happened was in 2019. Lindsey’s showing at Foot Locker regionals demonstrates that she has the best turnover and closing speed of any high school runner in the state. She ran well against some good fields last fall.”
