in 2009 as a freshmen i got a varsity letter,went to finals,got 5 medals. when all this happend it opened my eyes telling me that i have potiential to do anything that i wanted to do if i put my mind to it.I joined Cross Country in the fall of '09 and i struggled to run 5k/3 mi. but i got through it. I also got a letter from that and went to finals. I joined swimming in the winter but dropped out because of grades but i was still focused for the spring. i started my 2010 track season by making new goals. 1) Work Harder; work hard now so you dont have to pay for later. 2) Get More Personal Bests; i got huge improvements on my times this year. 3) Getting Closer to the Team; cheer for them when there doing there event, ask them if they did good, etc. 4) Run on Weekends; this has really improved my running, made me stronger and it was worth it. 5) Focus; distractions with other things around me that dont matter will make me weaker.6)Stretching More; ill be more in shape and prevent injury by doing this.7)Sportsmanship; other athletes and coaches will reconize you for this. High School Track is really competitive so i had to be in that level and its hard to stay in that state. I try to have fun but at the same time i try to be serious i dont want to be distracted by something and miss a great opportunity. 11.77 to 11.60 in the 100 dash is a improvement that im happy about and tells me that i got to work harder to reach 10.99. with the 200 dash coach told me that if i run a 11.6 i should run 23.8 so i got to get stronger. Coach is impressed with me being 4th leg in sprint relays because i give it my all to get a place and get points for the team. The J.V. meet in Gwinn was a great oppertunity to see how i am against other guys in my level. I took 1st in the 100 and 200 and brought home a 2nd in the 400 relay. i have recieved 10 medals and 3 ribbons during this season.I need 12 points to get a varsity letter and at the end of the season with over 60 points...im proudly to earn my letter for the Track season of 2010.
