Speed Racer LILLY SHAPIRO IS A RECORD SETTER
Hi, everyone! Marc here with a special note about my family. With the Boston Marathon quickly approaching in April, it seems like the perfect time to talk about the runners in my family. My brother, Brad, ran cross-country in college — that’s how he met his wife. He once attended the Boston Marathon and told me it was unlike anything he’d expected. First, the non-elite runners start so far back that they begin miles away from the start line; so, he was already tired by the time he “started.” Second, running through crowds of people presents unique challenges. Finally, the runners had to go down a big hill at the beginning of the race, which is hard on your legs and weakens the muscles. Though he’s glad he did it, I’m not sure he’d sign up to repeat the experience. But the real running star in the family is Brad’s daughter, my niece Lilly. Even though she’s still in high school, she is by far the fastest person I know. In November 2021, she placed second in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Girls Cross Country Meet of Champions.
Her time was faster than any in the previous 43 competitions, and she broke a record in her conference by 12 seconds. She also defeated the meet’s best time set back in 1983. Though another runner beat the same record and ultimately won the race, it was an incredible accomplishment. In February 2022, Lilly competed against college and pro runners at Boston University and came in sixth place. She also scored the No. 2 record for the fastest mile run indoors by a girl. It proves that she can hold her own even against more experienced runners who had more professional training. Then on March 5, she made history again by returning to the NJSIAA Girls Cross Country Meet of Champions where she became the first girl to win the 1,600- and 800-meter races at the same meet. In the 1,600-meter, her time ranked as the sixth fastest ever, and her 800-meter time was the 12th fastest in meet history. As you can probably tell, the rest of the family and I are incredibly proud of Lilly, and we know she’s bound for great things in her college running career. She’s off to the races, and all we can do is try our best to keep up!
