The talented seventh-grader from Farmington has burst onto the scene to start this year's track and field season after coming off a very impressive cross country season. Lansing ran at the Mankato Varsity Showcase in the 1600m where she ran a 5:31.27 to finish in 8th place 20 seconds behind Halle Mestery.
Her time of 5:31.27 is the top 1600m time by a seventh-grader in Minnesota so far this season, just ahead of Cara Back who ran a 5:47.98 for Rogers High School. The impressive part is where this lands Lansing all-time in Minnesota for a seventh-grader and her national rank.
