Indoor State

Now on our 3rd and last indoor meet we did great!! We only took up 8 girls from the team and ran in six different events and one field event. All of the girls that went up did amazing and you could tell that we all really wanted to do our best and try our hardest to get up on the podium.

all of the events that were going to be ran by the girls were the 60 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 4x200, 4x100, and 800 meters. And the one field event was the high jump. Every event that was ran was placed within the top 20 out of almost 160 competitors in each event.
Before running i was very nervous and didn't know what to expect. I knew that i would be running against some tough competition so i knew i had to get myself mentally prepared for it. the first event that I got out of my way was the 4x2. knowing how we had done in previous events i was pretty excited to run this. All I could think about before running was about being on that podium and how cool it would feel. After running it and having an ok first leg, but feeling like i could have done better we ended up getting 5th place. i thought that was pretty good. Now the next race i have to get ready for is my open 200. This race always makes me very nervous because its a race i have to run on my own and it all is up to me and how i perform. which in a way can make me want it even more and strive for it to all that i can. I was really happy with how i can i ended up getting first place in my heat, but i know that can mean nothing knowing that there were 21 heats and i was the 18th heat. i ended up getting 13th place. I knew i could have done better but i felt pretty satisfied. for the last race of the day was the 4x1..you save the best for last!! the whole team was pumped for this we were only running a 100 and had done pretty good the whole day. we knew what we were capable of doing. i started us off and broke the stagger with hading the baton off first. the rest of the hand offs were great!! With everything in the race going well we ended up placing 4h over all..i was very happy with this!!
so far this meet was the most exciting for me placing in 2 events out of 3. just have to wait for the nest one now..
