| Central Magnet student Andre Hillsman showed why he is one of the best distance runners in the area with a 4th place finish at a nationwide track and field meet on Aug. 7.
He achieved that feat in the 3000-meter event at the AAU Junior Olympics in Norfolk, Va. in the boys youth division. His time was 9:58.62, which broke his personal best. Eric Torres, from Texas won the event. It was only the second time ever that he competed at that distance.
A few weeks earlier, Hillsman won the gold in the same event at the ESPN RISE games in Orlando, Fla.
Two days earlier, on Aug. 5, he was 40th out of 73 runners in the 1500-meter race with a time of 4:48.94.
Currently, he is getting ready for the cross-country season at Central Magnet. |
