We made it!!

Finally after waiting a long time seeing if we had made it in for the 4x100 and the sprint med we did!! i am overly excited to go to drake again. I am a little bummed i couldn't have made it in the open 100 but i never really ran it at any meets to qualify. I know that i would have made it to drake in the open 200,but one weird thing about drake is they don't have a girls 200 open or a 4x200. But they have both of these events for boys. I don't really understand why..and probably will never understand why they don't.

This is a big meet for drake this year. it will be the 100th annual year of the drake relays. This means that many Olympian runners will be there. I can not wait to be able to see some of these people run. They are people i look up to and probably can learn a lot from them. I know that watching them will truly be an amazing site to see. I can not wait!!

Now back to the running events. we have 3 total events going to drake. The 100 meter dash, 4x100, and sprint med. Right now for the sprint med we are ranked 23 out of 24. That just makes me want to work harder and show people that we are not worth such a low placing and can beat them out. last year we placed 5th in sprint med and received a metal honestly that would be amazing again but don't know if that is possible from the people that are gone from the team now. And for the 4x100 we are 18th out of 80..i would like to say that is pretty decent. I think that we can improve our time and maybe placing the top 10 hopefully. i think another metal from drake would be amazing too!!
