An elusive goal is met by Mainstreeters junior speedster Elizabeth Hemsworth

At right, Elizabeth Hemsworth speeds towards the finish line of the 400 open during the Sub-Section 6A-1 meet on May 26 at Minnewaska Area. Hemsworth won the race while also establishing a new school record in that event (58.5s). Photo submitted.

What makes it special is that she broke her own record, set just a week before the sub-section meet. At the West Central North Conference meet in Milaca on May 17, Hemsworth broke 2010 graduate Savana Weller's 400 open record by running a time of 58.69 seconds. Hemsworth has been chasing the record since her freshmen season on the Mainstreeters track and field team.
