track league finals

Hey guys.

Today was the League Finals for track. This meet is the meet where ALL the schools compete against each other in order to see who qualifies for Sectionals. To make it to Sectionals, you have to place in the top 6 at League Finals.

So anyway, my race was the 1600m. I had to leave school early even though my event started 5. I waited, warmed up, waited, warmed up, and kept going until suddenly it started raining. I thought, hmm, maybe they'll cancel it, but NOOO they had to just keep on running. I ran the mile, and I qualified for sectionals with a time of 5:16.

I have done better, but the weather today was just abysmal. Hopefully I do better tomorrow in the 800 and the 4x4 relay!

Later,

Rohan

track meeeeeeeeet

Hey kids! Today my school, Lawson, took on the Miller Mustangs. (OMG im talking like they do on announcements) Anyway, I ran the mile and 4x4 relay. I won both of them but they were pretty dirty races.

In the mile, I felt the race was very similar to my race at Blach in that I was the underdog but still very within striking distance of the leader. The Miller runner in the lead and I were sprinting for two laps, and then it occurred in the last lap. Somehow, when we were lapping some of the back runners, a pileup occurred and I had to skirt around the mess. What seems to have happened is that when the Miller runner and I were passing, a Lawson runner tried to block the Miller runner (way to take one for the team!! :) ) and the pileup ensued. After that, I was barely in second and every time I tried to pass the Miller runner, he would move in front and block me. However, at the end of the race I sprinted like all get out and won by about 5 cm.

In the relay, we were outmatched from the beginning. However, we sprinted our hardest and were not very far behind. Even though we lost in the race, the Miller team got DQ'd for cutting in too early. So, we WON ! :)

Thanks guys!
