5 year old Leighla Herriott | 400m Run Meet Record

3 Time Indoor National Champion
She beat the old meet record of 1:27.92 with a time of 1:23.54

[@emsd2307]

She wasn't even running hard, it seems that talent comes naturally to her. All the best for a brilliant future baby girl. Leighla is amazing.

@@aherriott1984 Please continue to take good care of your little girl. I enjoyed watching her run that race and run past the longer-legged girls like it's nothing. This from a white gal who couldn't sprint worth a darn but could do the middle and long-distance races because I just don't have those fast-twitch muscle fibers. The shortest distance I could run decently was a mile. Your little girl is precious. I hope she is able to keep up the good work through all this COVID and come out the other side strong, fit, and safe, and you too, Ashley.

Heidi Marie she started at 5. Honestly, I was trying to get her to cheer or play soccer and she said no. I then asked her did she want to do dance and she said no as well. One day we was watching a track meet on tv and she said Ma, I want to try that.

[@Star3marie304]

@@aherriott1984 aw that's crazy because you never know sometimes. My mom did the same with me when I was that age! I did a little of everything...I played soccer and was naturally good at it...did swimming, basketball, tennis, tae kwon do...and loved all sports but eventually I fell in love with ballet a little later on and that was my sport of choice:) but i think it's so great for little girls to be athletic and be introduced to different sports at a young age. You don't know what they'll be good at until they try it you know! Fantastic:)
