Still just a freshman, Alexa Efraimson is breaking school records for Camas every time she steps on the track.

On Friday at the Nike Jesuit Relays in Beaverton, Ore., Efraimson finished first in the 1,500-meter elite run with a time of 4 minutes, 23.41 seconds.

"I've really pushed myself to times I never thought I could reach until I was a senior," Efraimson said. "It makes me realize how fortunate I am to have the talent I have and the capability I have. I hope it just gets better with time."

Head coach Alisa Wise said Efraimson dropped about 10 seconds off her winning time at the Oregon Relays, April 21. It is also the second fastest 1,500 in the nation.
