Colorado Leap Of The Year
Bobby Reyes

Chaparral's Kaylee Ellsworth went from 12:32 in 2023, to 10:44 in 2024 for a leap of 1:48.

...

Let's take a look at the girl's 3,200 in this edition of Colorado Leap Of The Year. 

Taking the cake is Brynna Lenhard!

The Lake County senior made a leap of 3:04 - she's the only runner to make an improvement of over three-minutes, and one of only two to leap over two-minutes.

In 2023 Lenhard was a 16:03 3,200 runner. This year? 12:59. 

The other runner to crack two minutes of an improvement was Golden View Classical Academy's Molly Wilkinson. She went from 14:46 in 2023 to 12:37 this year for a leap of 2:09. 

Taking bronze on this list was Mountain Range's Caroline Vos, who went from 14:26 in 2023 to 12:31 in 2024 for an improvement of 1:54.

Editor's Note: This list was compiled using the top 300 performances from 2024, and matching them up against 2023.
