Fresh off a commitment to the University of Michigan, Rockford (MI) High School senior Ericka Vanderlende had herself a day at the MHSAA LP Region Championships in Allendale.
The Michiganer threw down a 26-second PR year-over-year at the regional course while also notching her personal best time for 5K on grass in 16:43.30. It was her second sub-17 minute performance on the season and a US No. 6 time.
She was approximately 78 seconds faster than the next closest competitor.
There's no doubt Vanderlende is firing on all cylinders heading into the state championships.
