Ventura High School distance runner Sadie Englehardt surged over the final 400 meters to break her Arcadia Invitational record in the girls' mile.

Sadie Engelhardt found herself in an unfamiliar position — second — with one lap to go in the one-mile race on Saturday night at the 56th Arcadia Invitational. The defending champion had led from the start but was passed by fellow junior Jane Hedengren of Provo Timpview as they entered the final 400 meters. However, the Ventura standout would not disappoint her fans and retook the lead before the two reached the backstretch.

“Once I got out of the blocks I saw I was behind and I had to switch to another gear,” said Harris, who let out a big scream when he won. “I took the lead around the 60- or 70-meter mark and I knew I had it. This is a PR for me. I’m proud to represent Poly and showcase my ability but I’m going to stay humble and keep working to be even faster.” Harris is off to a blazing start in his prep career and may own all of his school’s sprinting records by the time he graduates.
