WOW!

🏅 She is thirteen years old. She just rewrote history.

At the Brooks PR Invitational in Renton, Washington, seventh grader Angelina Alder ran the mile in 4:38.25 and took down three age-group records in a single race.

The Provo, Utah phenom erased the 14-year-old age-group mark of 4:40.10 that Mary Decker set indoors back in 1973. That mark had stood for 53 years.

She also broke her own 13-year-old world record and the Middle School Mile national record of 4:40.16.

It was the first time she had ever broken 4:40. She did it by more than two and a half seconds, closing her final lap in 65 seconds flat.

This is her second world record of 2026. She set the 12-year-old mark just seven weeks earlier.
