In between those events, Montgomery freshman phenom Hanne Thomsen ran an outstanding 1,600, setting multiple records with a personal best of 4:45.51. Not only did it shatter the previous meet record of 4:49.34, set by Healdsburg’s Gabby Peterson in 2019, but it also broke Sara Bei’s school record of 4:46.17.
Thomsen said she didn’t enter the race trying to break the record, but after a fast first lap she decided to push the pace.
“I was trying to go fast, but it ended up being a lot faster than I thought,” Thomsen said. “I’m really excited about that because going into this I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I can beat it this year because I’m running alone,’ but I just came through and it was like, woah.”
Later in the evening, Thomsen easily won the 3,200, crossing in 10:21.15, a minute better than the second-place finisher.
