According to the video, Captian Erika Woodson hadn't seen her daughter in a long time and orchestrated the surprise reunion with the help of the school.
Before the young girl crossed the line, the mother could be seen hiding behind event tables to ensure she didn't distract her from focusing on the race.
She only crossed the tracks to wait for her when she saw her dashing towards the finish line, receiving her with a tight hug that lasted minutes.
Daughter didn't want to let go
Given the time apart, the military mother has been missing her daughter's school events, something she wanted to make up for.
That she crossed the line before everyone else meant she received a medal, but her mother's surprise visit was the moment she would cherish for many years.
The emotional moment brought joy to the mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for three years.
It also warmed the hearts of onlookers who praised the soldier for her beautiful idea of showing love to her teenage daughter.
