TUSTIN, CA - Baby Brooke Collins ran in her first 5k with daddy Coach Mike and came in at 19:52. She's learning at a young age how to negative split as their miles were 6:55, 6:19, 6:03 due to traffic in the early part of the race and a brief stop to retreive a snack trap tossed from the baby jogger. Brooke looked very fresh at the end of the race and told daddy he should have done the 10k.
