One dairy farmer is making a name for herself not just in farming, but on the track.
Ellie Purrier now holds another American track and field record. She won the women’s 2-mile race at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. She did it with a time of 09:10.28. It’s the fastest time in the world this year and apparently the third-fastest time ever!
The 25-year old grew up milking dairy cows along with tossing 40-pound bales of hay and raising two pigs on her family’s farm 10-miles south of the Canadian border. She is still helping her family on the farm while training in preparation to make Team USA and head to the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Scottish Woman Earns Free Milk for a Year
And another strong woman has earned free milk for a year. This video is from Cowdenbeath, Scotland. And you can see a dairy truck is struggling to get up a snowy hill. Check out who’s helping make sure the deliveries keep going. That’s Charlene Leslie,a kind-hearted mom who says she left two of her three kids with a friend so she could go into the street and help push the truck.
She’s now being dubbed a real-life superwoman. And even better, the dairy company tracked her down and they’re giving her free dairy products for the rest of the year! The dairy company also said folks shouldn’t follow her actions with others saying she could have been hurt if the truck rolled backward.
