Finally, under Liu Xinghua's astonished gaze, Ning Aoxue maintained her sprinting posture and completed the four-lap long-distance run, crossing the finish line as the undisputed first!
BEEP! "4 minutes and 11 seconds!" The referee recording Ning Aoxue's time announced her score the moment she crossed the finish line. He then stood frozen for a full three seconds before shouting in astonishment, "She's set a new record! Ning Aoxue beat the school record by a full 11 seconds! This is stunningly impressive!"
Two seconds later, Liu Xinghua staggered across the finish line…
BEEP! "4 minutes and 19 seconds! Liu Xinghua also broke the record!" Another referee, also a teacher, exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Wow, two record-breaking runners in one year! Jiangzhou University is truly a fountain of talent!"
