UNI mvc

So we recently had our 2nd track meet, which was at UNI. It was the MVC indoor meet which means that it was the Mississippi valley conference meet. MVC is everyone that we will be running against to try and qualify for state. This meet i ran the maximum number of events that you are able to run, which is 4 events they were the 60 meter dash, 4x100, 4x200 and the sprint medley.

In this meet it was really hard for me to get focused and not be thinking about other things. Recently i have had a lot of things on my mind, and sometimes i find that getting in the way at track and even sometimes at school. But now with everything on my mind i am trying got use that in a good way and actually help me with my race. I think that it actually worked this time too. Right before I ran my 60 I thought of things that really made me angry to pump me up and want to run fast and a way to release my anger. i ended up getting 2nd in my heat and 3rd over all. i was very happy with that. To think that we were at the MVC meet and i received 3rd place made me happy and only motivates me more for the outdoor season to start.
Next up was the 4x200. This race was going to be a little different to run, because all indoor track are 200 meter tracks. So to run a 200 indoors you are running more curves then you usually do and your time is usually slower because of this. But depending on the track you could have a really good time because of the good quality of the track and it being a "fast track". We were very surprised once we finished running the relay. We ended up getting 1st in our heat. we had a lead of about 25 meter which is very rare to happen. Over all we ended up getting 2nd. With the 4x1 the same thing happened we got 1st in out heat with placing 2nd over all. Running a 100 in indoors is always a very awkward race because you have to run a curve and it seems to be a lot longer when it actually is the just the same. and for the last race..the sprint med. this always was my favorite race to run I always start it out with running a 100. Then after the 100 i had off and the next girl run a 100 then it goes to a 200 and finally a 400. we didn't do so hot in this relay but still placed 4th in our heat.

that's all for this meet!!
