Nine minutes and 26 seconds. That’s all it took for redshirt junior Lindsey Brewis to set a new school record for the 3,000-meter run. Brewis beat former Rambler Gina Valgoi’s time by nearly three seconds.
Brewis, an information systems major, wasn’t always a track and cross-country star. Before she began running, she played soccer and basketball. She said she fell in love with running when her parents forced her to attend her older sister’s race.
“I was so cranky the entire time and then when the gun went off and they started running I followed my dad around,” Brewis said.
