Video reveals Oregon teen observe star journey, somersault over end line to win 1st place

She’s a runner, she’s a observe star … she’s somersaulting over the end line?

Highschool athlete Brooklyn Anderson was operating hurdles in a observe and area championship in Eugene, Oregon — and seconds away from the end line, she tripped.

Video from the occasion reveals Anderson hopping a hurdle and knocking it down earlier than tripping. The observe star’s tumbling reflex kicked in, prompting her to somersault twice till she acquired over the end line, “sticking the touchdown” to first place.

Anderson informed The Oregonian that she relied on her gymnastics coaching on the Saturday occasion.

“I wasn’t positive how far again everyone else was behind me, so I knew to only hold rolling, to maintain going, as a result of I actually needed to get first,” the Thurston Excessive Faculty junior informed the outlet.

Anderson received the Class 5A 100 hurdles race in 14.93 seconds, the outlet reported.

“I used to be simply so proud,” Anderson stated about her win. “Simply very, very pleased.”
