Unexpected Drama at the Finish Line
In one of the most unforgettable moments in recent high school track history, Brooklyn Anderson of Thurston High pulled off the impossible during the 5A girls’ 100m hurdles final at Track Town USA in Oregon.
Dominating the Race… Until the Last Hurdle
Anderson was clearly in the lead, clearing hurdle after hurdle with ease. But as she approached the final barrier, disaster struck. Her foot clipped the last hurdle — and down she went.
Two Somersaults and a Miracle
What happened next had fans on their feet. In a flash, Brooklyn launched herself into a forward somersault, then immediately rolled into a second flip — all while staying in her lane. Incredibly, she crossed the finish line first with a time of 14.93 seconds.
Social Media Can’t Get Enough
Clips of the moment have gone viral across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok, with viewers calling it “the most athletic fall ever” and “the greatest recovery in track history.”
A Win That Redefined Resilience
Officials confirmed her victory, and Anderson is now being praised not just for speed — but for her grit, instinct, and unreal agility. The moment might go down as one of the most iconic high school finishes ever.
