One day after winning section 1 of the college/open women 800 meter run at the Mt. SAC Relays in California with a new US #1 time of 2:06.61, Niwot High School (Colorado) senior Elise Cranny was back in action at the 800 meter distance again, but this time racing against the best of the best at the meet among pros and collegiates in the Saturday night invitational division.
With many women in her race having run close to or around 2 minutes in the 800, Cranny was focused on just holding on and sticking with the field to drag her through to a fast time. That goal was accomplished as despite finishing second to last in her section, Cranny improved upon her US leading time in a 24 hour span by nearly a fully two seconds with a time of 2:04.89.
This will not be the last for Cranny to race against tougher pro and college competition as plans to return to Cali in May to run at the Stanford University hosted Payton Jordan Invitational and compete in the 1500 meter run, which she owns a 4:15.07 PR in from her race last year at same meet (Payton Jordan Invite).
Could we see another jaw-droping performance in two weekends from now by Cranny? On Friday night, May 2nd at the St. Vrain Invitational n Longmont, Colorado is one of the next meets that Cranny's high school school (Niwot) is slated to attend. MileSplit will be providing a live stream of the meet.
