Running Track in High School
I ran track for four years in high school, and made a lot of great memories. When I think back about it, I realize how much I improved from my freshman year to my senior year. I started off being a slow runner, never trying or caring and it showed in my track meets. I was always getting last or close to last, but I didn’t care. I had more fun hanging out with my friends and playing around. It wasn’t until my junior year I really started to try. I didn’t want to waste all four years and regret it even more. I made a decision that I was going to go to every practice and give it my all every day. It slowly started to pay off; by the end of my junior year I ran my best time in the 400-meter dash. I was very happy and could not wait for next year. Starting my senior year I promised my self again, that I would never give up and try every day. The first track meet of year I almost my got my personal best in the 400-meter dash. I was already feeling great about this year and couldn’t wait to see how good I could do. Through out that entire season I was dropping time and kept getting better. Time was flying by and before I knew it, it was the last track meet of the year. The conference meet was held at houseman field. I was only running a couple of races that day, but the only one I was worried about and focusing on was the 400. I was originally in the second to finale heat, but they switched me to the finale heat. I was nervous because I did not think I could keep up with them. It was my best race ever though. I got my best time and I was very happy with how I did.
All of my hard work paid off. Those long, and hard practices were worth every minute.
