It's not often one can become the talk of Twitter simply by running well, but that's what happened to a Florida teen named Daphne today thanks to a tweet by @espnW.
19 MPH?! This is incredible 😤

The tweet shows off several young women sprinting at 19 MPH at UbrZati training facility in Melbourne, Florida. While the other women in the video powerfully manage to pull off running at 19 MPH—which is no small feat in itself—Twitter's eyes were drawn to Daphne, who, compared to the rest of the field, seems to be handling the task with ease. The other women are clearly exerting themselves to the extent of their abilities, but Daphne looks like she's taking a leisurely jog to the grocery store.
Viewers were impressed (and a little terrified) of Daphne's casual form, and her name hit the top of the trending page as users fired off jokes.
Daphne is clearly a terminator. Do not try to run from Daphne. https://t.co/QEuUSqx5yU

UbrZati caught on to Daphne hype, posting another video of her on their TikTok with a viewer saying "Her form's awesome!"
Daphne herself thanked Twitter for the overwhelming support and UbrZati for training her.
Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming support! @UbrZati thanks for pushing me to become the best athlete that I can be! https://t.co/8frEeRwpbl
