Females are strong as hell! Fastest girl in the world? 17-year-old American, Candace Hill

Candace Hill. I repeat, Candace Hill. If you haven’t heard of her yet, you better get used to it.

Hill, who started out as a standout high school track star, turned pro at the end of last year after breaking the 100 meter record, clocking in at a impressive 10.98 seconds.

She was just 16 when she broke the record and made her decision to go pro. After going pro, Hill became the youngest track athlete in the United States to turn professional and officially became the fastest girl in the world.

She is hoping to also qualify for the U.S. Olympic team, in order to represent the U.S. in Rio this August. ~ P.S. She has a pretty good chance at it.~

By going pro, this means Hill cannot participate in high school or college track, but she doesn’t care because now she can get sponsorship's. Hill, who is already sponsored by Asics Athletics (because she is pure and honest boss) said this to The New York Times, “Skipping college is attractive for three reasons: money, fame and momentum.”

In a new wave of female athletes and sportscasters dominating the sports world, Hill is just another reason why “females are strong as hell,” giving hope to other women and young girls that they have a place in sports.

Oh, and it’s her birthday today. Happy Birthday Candace! You go girl!
