Culver City has been known for producing top 400-meter runners in recent years. Now there’s a freshman female sprinter, Aliza Rush, who could bring lots of attention in the coming years.
Rush finished fourth in the Open Division 100 of the Arcadia Invitational on Friday, running a career-best time of 11.87 seconds.
“I always liked to run,” Rush said of her elementary school days. “I always liked to race.”
When it was suggested by a coach she might be a future 400 runner, her eyes suddenly rose sending the message, “Are you crazy?”
Never say never for the school of 400 runners.
