A fast and aggressive pup decided sitting on the sidelines was boring during a recent high school track meet in Utah.  During the last leg of the varsity girls 4×200-meter relay at the 2021 Grizzly Invitational, Holly the dog got away from her owners and pounced right in pace. Video posted online shows Holly pawing her way past the other competitors, eventually chasing down the lead runner, Gracie Laney, and passing her just before the finish line.
