TUSCOLA, Ill. — Aubrey Denning stole the show Friday night at the 38th Annual Tuscola Invitational.
The freshman distance runner for St. Anthony set a new track record in the 800-meter run and a personal record in the 1600.
“She goes out and does that about every night. It’s amazing to watch,” head coach Randy Blake said.
“It feels good,” Denning added. “I was not expecting to run that fast, but it’s exciting.”
Denning ran the 800 in 2 minutes, 17.95 seconds. She ran the 1600 in 5:20.78.
“It was rough,” said Denning of her 1600 time. “I tried to finish super strong because usually, it’s hard in the mile to finish strong, but I tried to push through.”
