The 14-year-old has her eyes set on the Age Group World Record mile of 4:40.1, which Mary Decker secured in 1973.

Throughout the season, the eighth-grader set all-time marks and personal bests. Over the weekend, she lined up at the Music City Track Carnival and finished third with a 4:44.40 in the mile. That was a 2-second improvement from her previous performance at the distance. 

Engelhardt has another opportunity to not only grab the title but also land a spot on the podium.
