Internet calls the 7-year-old “certified MVP.”

According to TMZa clip shared by Mr Crawford shows his daughter Talaya getting off to a shaky start during the sprint competition at the Wings of Omaha Invitational at Northwest High School in Nebraska.

Her blunder from her did cost her a significant amount of time and distance, but within seconds she is seen picking up the pace. Talaya not only caught up to the rest of the pack, but she also passed every single runner and came first.

One user wrote, “she’s cut from a different cloth man, they had a 4-5 second head start and she still beat like a boss. Certified MVP”.
