North Salinas freshman Clara Adams chased down an alleged thief on a bike and returned a purse to a family friend.
SALINAS – Before her dad or any adult could react, 14-year-old track and field star Clara Adams took off in a dead sprint toward an apparent thief who was riding a BMX bike.
Gillott “was freaking out, I was scared for her,” Adams said. “I saw this guy with a bunch of stuff. When I looked, I saw purse.”“I got into my 200-meter mood and ran toward him,” said Adams, who ran the fourth fastest time in Monterey County history in the 200 meters last month at the Junior Olympics. “I just grabbed the purse from him and left.”“She was so brave,” Gillott said. “She is a champion with her heart. It was a huge act of bravery. But I told her ‘Don’t ever do that again.
“I can’t run because of my stroke,” said Gillott, a former North County High and Hartnell College track and field standout. “I just came back from filming part of the documentary at Hartnell.”
