A female track-and-field sprinter set in the crouched 'set' position at the starting blocks, hands planted on the line and one knee down, coiled to explode forward at the gun. She wears a sleek blue-and-white racing bodysuit and spiked running shoes, mounted on a red running-track base with lane markings.

The taut, athletic pose captures the tension of the instant before the start. The muscled form, racing suit, and block-and-lane base are cleanly defined for a vivid painted finish.

A dynamic centerpiece for a stadium, athletics-meet, or sports diorama, and an energetic modern figure for an event scene on a model layout.
