4pm -  Second day of state and it was pretty awesome.  Me, Abel and Byron were in the 800.  We warmed up 2 miles.  I did a bunch of jogging on the grass field next to the track and got my mind ready.  A couple hours before my buddy asked me what time I wanted to get so I just kinda threw 1:57 out there.  But my main goal was to go sub 2.  

The raced started and me and Byron were in the outside alley, just us two.  I got out good and was in about 5th.  At first I thought I wasn't good enough to be up with the leaders but then I just blanked that idea out of my mind.  coming onto the home stretch the first lap, Nephi and Kale went to pass me, but I really battled and didn't let them ahead.  I surged here and my mind was just blank i was in total racing mode.  at 200 meters Nephi came on my side and Kale too.  I wanted to beat these guys so bad, I just gave it all I had.  I realized my position and thought I needed to pass Nephi for a medal.  With 30 meters left my legs started to give out and i felt like I was gonna fall over but  I didn't and ended up getting 6th.  I looked at the score board and I got the 1:57.  I was really suprised and kind of in shock that I ran it that fast.  I got a medal and so far this is my biggest running accomplishment.  swag.

at around 6 I ran the final leg of our team's 4x400m relay.  It was alright, :53.  I was dang tired.

This meet was really great to end off the season.  Now a two week break and on to XC.
