She cheered for friends from Foothill League rival Canyon and remarked about the fast first mile. It wasn't until later that Russell learned what she could have done. ``She's a once-in-a-generation at Hart,'' Indians coach Larry David said of Russell, who would have finished alone in second place in the championship girls' field, 20 seconds behind Bryan and 15 seconds ahead of Briana Cahn of Ayala. ``She'll definitely be a record-setter,'' David said, ``and possibly bigger.'' At the very least, Russell never will be overlooked again. All David had hoped for from Saturday's invitational was to get his freshman star familiar with the 3.1-mile course that will be used for the state championship at the end of November. Now Russell must be considered one of that race's favorites. Her Clovis victory was the fifth in five races this season (a streak she described as ``spectacular'') and came even though Russell did not start running all out until the second mile of the race. Russell started running with her older sister, Whitney, a former Hart runner and league champion now at California, and won several national youth events before starting high school. She said her only goal entering this season was to qualify for the state meet.
