Westerly’s Springer sets track records

After wrapping up the Rhode Island state championship, Andrew Springer had his sights set on one more crown—and he got it.

The Westerly track star is now the fastest high school one-mile runner in the United States this year.

On Saturday, Springer ran the boy’s mile in 4 minutes, 2.70 seconds at the Midwest Distance Gala in Illinois.

The Westerly High School senior not only bettered his own his own state record, but also set a New England record as well.
