Colorado, meet Maeve Vancik!
The Arapahoe freshmen recently had a massive breakthrough performance at the Pat Amato Classic, where she finished fourth in a personal best of 18:23.
The time sliced three-seconds off her previous PR - an 18:26 clocking from the Liberty Bell Cross Country Invitational.
Anytime you run faster than Liberty Bell it hints at a huge improvement.
