I got a medal and we got a trophy so no complaints. I wanted to take 5th or maybe 4th but I'm happy. I will run faster at state, I just need to concentrate on building up to it, getting more intense and when it come giving it my all. I feel like I haven't been racing hard enough lately, but I've been doing better. My goal to run sub 16:00 at state still stands. And I'm going to do it, I believe in myself. Today I didn't race well, I didn't beat all the people I should have, but I'm happy. It's probably the only cross country meet I will get a medal in so I'm just enjoying it. But at state, there will be no complacency, this is the meet I care most about, it matters more than any other race. I'm going to run as hard as I can and I hope that means sub 16:00.

Blake, congratulations on a good race, and on going to state! I can feel the fire building in you. You are going to have a good race at state. Just be careful not to get boxed in, but don't panic if you do. It seems to be coming together for you, at the perfect time.

Thank you!! I'm getting excited for state, I'm not going to burn myself out trying to get a good spot at the start, but I'm definitely going to get out a little faster than I have been the past couple of meets, like top 40 for the first mile and then i will move up from there. I want to be as motivated as possible for the the race!
