Ouch, I hit my knee on a rail as we were walking out to do the 2 miles. I hit it pretty hard, walked straight into it. My leg hurts. I still did the 2 mile warm up and 4 striders. It hurt a little on the warm up, and a little more on the striders. My philosiphy was that if I couldn't do the warm up and striders, I couldn't do the race tomorrow. I will be fine, I will rest it all night watching movies and playing games and then get a good 9 hours of sleep and I will be ok. I might even do a little light biking for 5 mins or so just to keep get it moving. Tomorrow I am going to race, and then kick the last lap as hard as I can.

Ice, Ibuprofin - this is one instance where that advice makes sense.

Plus everything you suggested. Good luck!

I iced it for 20 mins after school, I will ice it again a couple of times today! I will make sure to bring some ibuprofen to the meet!
