We Won!!

Last Friday was the first meet that we have won since last year!! It was a very good meet for everyone. We all had very good times, they weren't that best that they could have been but still good enough to get first place. The meet was at Burlington as you already know that, which is two hours away. It was a really long drive up there so by the time we were they and walking off the buss we were all very stiff. There were only 7 teams at this meet. we have never ran against any of them or didn't know what to expect. We hadn't seen many of the teams at drake or state before so we knew might be having a lucky day. After warming up coach came over to us telling the team " we have a golden opportunity here, lets go out and do it." I think we all took in what he had to say and worked out butts off. It was nice to see coach walking to the bus with a smile ear to ear..that is something you don't see from him very much. He walks up the steps with a trophy in his hands and we all cheer. It is a good feeling to have once you know that you have done something good and you have worked hard for it.
I ran my usual races, and we placed 1st in the 4x200 and in the sprint med. We placed 2nd in the 4x2 and i got 3rd in the 200. I don't think any relay or anyone on the team placed worse than 5th place.

Now we have a meet tomorrow at Benton Community. This is a JV/V meet but coach says he doesn't want to "over work us" with having districts coming up on Friday. So all of the people that ran in the meet on Friday will only be running one race tomorrow. I am totally fine with this idea. It Will be nice for once to actually sit back and enjoy a meet. I don't get to do that because its race after race for me. hopefully we will do OK without having everyone run their normal events. It will also give people a chance to run that usually don't.
