Brooklyn Anderson Somersaults To First Place At Oregon Track Championships

🏃🏾‍♀️ The Viral Moment That’s Got Everyone Talking

Brooklyn Anderson didn’t just win her race—she flipped into the finish line like a true champion.

The Thurston High School junior was competing in the OSAA State Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, when she had a moment that instantly went viral.

While running the 100m hurdles in the Class 5A division, Anderson clipped a hurdle near the end of the race.

She lost her footing and tumbled—but what happened next was pure athletic magic.

With the finish line just feet away, Brooklyn Anderson relied on her background in gymnastics to turn the fall into a double somersault that launched her across the line—still managing to snag first place with a time of 14.93 seconds.

🗣️ Brooklyn Speaks Out: “I Just Kept Rolling”

In an interview with The Oregonian, Brooklyn opened up about the unforgettable moment:

“I wasn’t sure how far back everybody else was behind me, so I knew to just keep rolling, to keep going, because I really wanted to get first.”

Mission accomplished.

The viral finish wasn’t just about drama—it was about determination, athletic instinct, and heart.

“I was just so proud. Just very, very happy.”

This unforgettable finish at the OSAA State Track and Field Championships not only earned Brooklyn a gold medal but also reminded us all that it’s not always about how you start—or even how you stumble—it’s how you finish.

I absolutely love it! Congrats, Brooklyn!
