Colorado Leap Of The Year: The 1600

Let's take a look at the Leap of the Year: 1600...

Topping the girl's list was Angela Friedman

The DaySpring Academy junior went from not racing the 1600 at State in 2022, to finishing third this year. Friedman went from 6:13 last year, to 5:27 this year.

That's a 45-second leap.

And it's one of two athletes who improved by over 40-seconds. 

The other was Banning Lewis Preps Alexia Gonzales, who went from 6:08 to 5:25 - that's a leap of 42-seconds.

Taking the boys honors was Chet Gorman

The Rocky Mountain sophomore chopped off a jaw-dropping 51.47-seconds from his freshman year, going from 5:25 to 4:34. 

Mountain Vista's Jack Simmons took silver on this list, going from 5:00 to 4:20 for a leap of 40-seconds. 

Check out how much everyone improved from 2022 to 2023.
