STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW TV) — 16 year old Roisin Willis of Stevens Point is running in some rarefied air.
Willis ran in the 800 meter event at the Trial of Miles in New York and set a record. Her time of 2:00.78 is the fastest ever for a 16 year old girl and the 4th fastest by any female high school athlete.
It also has qualified her for the Olympic Trials in Oregon.
Willis told WAOW TV that “having the opportunity to go for one of the biggest dreams is really exciting and wild”.
Willis will leave for the trial in Oregon in late June.
