Today was the USATF Youth State Championship. I wasn't sure how fast I would be able to run because I have been playing a lot of basketball. It wasn't my fastest time but I still ran fast. I ended up taking 3rd place overall. There were some really fast runners from St. George. The only time I see them is at the USATF state and region meets and the Hershey's state meets. The girl who took first place was the same girl that I beat in the 1500 meters at the regional track meet this year. She is really good. Next year we won't be in the same division though. Also, I think that next year during cross country I will get cross country shoes. Because it was so cold and wet I kept slipping on the hill portions in my Nike Frees. I really had fun this year running cross country. Even though I qualified to go to San Antonio for Nationals I think I am going to focus on basketball for the next few months but I will still run as well. |
