In our meet against Concordia and St. Paul today, I ran for JV. In my first event, the 100 meter dash, I finished 2nd in a photo finish race (my coach said that I should've been in 1st, but they marked me wrong). After the long distance running finished (Nathan finished 1st in the mile again), I lined up for the 200, which I finished 1st in.
We didn't get much rest before the relay started. Natalie started, Megan was second leg, Olivia was third leg, and I finished. Unfortunately, we didn't get off to a good start, and by the time I got the baton we were in last place. Somehow, I pulled ahead, and Holy Cross finished in third.
I waited for about an hour, and then my best event started, long jump. Regrettably, the measuring tape we use to line up was off about two feet, so I didn't know where to start. I scratched my first jump, then jumped 13 feet 1 inch, then scratched my last two. I was extremely disappointed, because my best jump ever was 13 feet 3 inches. I think the reason I didn't beat this length was because I couldn't get my timing right.
At least I improved all my other events! Last meet, I finished the 100 in 15. 2 seconds, and this time I got a 14.5! I also improved in the 200, and I finished in 31.2, much better than last time.
GO CRUSADERS!
