Summary
Ellery Lincoln, a junior from Portland, just shattered expectations by running the fastest mile ever by a high school junior—4:27.65—at the Hoka Festival of Miles, proving that grit and consistency trump perfection. Diagnosed with whooping cough and pneumonia, she battled illness after illness yet never wavered. With 12 seconds shaved off her time in just one year and only 4 seconds away from the all-time high school record, Lincoln’s sights are set even higher—possibly chasing the national record next year. She’s not just breaking records; she’s rewriting the playbook on what’s possible. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
