Millard North track star Emily Sisson spends a lot of time running all by her lonesome. When you have a 46 second advantage over anybody else in Nebraska in the 3,200 meter run, there is plenty of distance between first and second.
Sisson is on a dominant path in her sophomore season. Sisson is second all-time in the 1,600 meters and the 3,200 meters in Nebraska history. Along with her huge advantage in the 3,200, Sisson is 22 seconds ahead of second in the 1,600. That is dominance.
Sisson also leads the state in the 800 meters and is part of Millard North’s state-leading 4x800 meter relay team.
The sophomore will move to the Kansas City area over the summer after leaving her mark on Nebraska’s record book. As an eighth-grader, Sisson won the collegiate 3,000 meter race at the Kansas Relays. That’s how good this runner is.
Sisson set three Metro Conference records recently and set two at the Kansas Relays. Sisson now shifts her focus to the state records. Sisson already won the 1,600 and 3,200 at Omaha Marian as a freshman, and won the past two state cross country titles.
Emily Sisson is one to watch in the future.
