Aria Pearce vs. College Sprinters: A Must-See Race!

March 19, 2026

I stumbled upon this video and honestly, I had to watch it a couple of times. It's 13-year-old Aria Pearce, and she's not just running in a high school meet – she's at the Stanford Invitational, going head-to-head with D1 college athletes in the 200m.

You can see her just owning her lane, even with much older, more experienced runners around her. It’s pretty awesome to watch her hold her own. Definitely worth a quick look!
