History has officially been made as a 7 year old girl from Texas recently broke the junior Olympics record making her the fastest kid in the nation!
Dakota White alongside her teammates of the Xpress Track Club in Fort Worth succeeded in hitting a new record apart of the eight and under 100-meter relay at the AAU junior Olympics reports Black Enterprise .
Within the race Dakota finished her part in record breaking time of 59.08 seconds. Last year Dakota went viral on TikTok within a series of videos showing her running in track competitions at only 6 years old.
Her father and former TCU wide receiver Cam White, says that Dakota has been training since she was 3 years old, under his guidance. “She just had form, like crazy form. It wasn’t fast, but her form was already perfect. So then as she progressed, we started getting her different trainers.”
He explains that though Dakota may be young she takes training very serious, works very hard, doesn’t skip a single day and has a balance diet.
Cam say’s Dakota, “Cut down on different snacks and foods, eating pretty healthy. As a kid, you know they like to eat a lot of junk food. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t take a lot away from her, but we limited what she could eat. She trains hard.”
Reports read that Dakota has won every single competition she has competed in since last year. She has recently received a gold medal from the Junior Olympics.
“When I see them it’s like 100 to me,” says Dakota.
