Today I was not planning on racing because I thought we arrived at the race to late so I assumed we missed the 1600 (which we did). So after Cheering on Kiley, Abigail and Tomy on their races Bill told me we are all going down to Provo High for the 800. So we warmed up running down to the high school which is a half mile, then we quickly got registered did one stride then they seeded us. I was in heat 2 in lane 2 because they only put 6 people in each heat so they could all start in their own lane. So I was in lane 2. Bill told me to get in a good position at the start. So the gun goes off and I got out hard. I was in first with Sam Hafen right behind me. We go through the 400 in 70 which is exactly what I needed. Then with 100 meters to go Sam out kicks me and a provo kid out kicked me! I had never been out kicked when I was kicking hard before! I PRd today and so did all of the boys who ran the 800 (except Tomy). Bill said at the 700 meter mark my form fell apart and that was when I was passed. So I need to work on my form at the end of races before region! Then we all jogged back to BYU to grab our money, cheer on Andy throwing the shot put then we jogged and got food. Overall I was glad I raced and everyone did amazing! Especially NATALIE WHO DID A 4:51.03 a new STATE RECORD! THIRD OVERALL!!!!!! |
