Mounds View sprinter Leah Hansen knows the importance of a good, fast start.
Last week, the junior won all three sprints, the 100, 200 and 400 meters, at the True Team Section Meet in leading Mounds View to state this week.
Her times in all three races put her among the top three in the state and solidify Leah as one to watch this spring. She ran 12.41 in the 100, 25.46 in the 200 and 58.5 in the 400. It's a tough triple to say the least.
Her coach says Leah is on the verge of greatness and all of her hard work is paying off. Mounds View will compete at the True Team State Finals on Friday night.
