AUSTIN, Tex. -- On a recent new-years workout ahead of The VA Showcase, we met up with Moses Brown (RI) senior Sophia Gorriaran, the country's top half-miler, as she prepared for the final indoor season of her high school career.
The Gorriarans were in Austin on their annual pilgrimage to the Texas capitol, a tradition that has spanned over a decade and which has often seen the family train at the Austin High School track.
Check out the workout above.
