First Home Meeet

This past weekend the school hosted their first home track meet for the season. Of course this was an exciting experience, it was nothing compared to my high school home meets. The stadium is much bigger and there was a lot more schools participating than high school. Many of my friends and people on my floor attended the meet. I loved how much they supported the team and me. Since it was the first home meet we had to show everyone what we were made of, sadly it didn’t all go as plan. The girls 4 by 100 relay, which I am on didn't really represent Stanislaus as Stanislaus should be represented. We were late to the line and had to rush to our positions. We all thought the race was going to start at 11:30 but the meet was running a tab bit faster than expected. So everyone was rushing to their spots and we forgot the most important thing…. the tape.The tape is for the person to know when to start running so nobody runs into each other, just incase you didn't know. So the girls on my team had to ask another school for some tape, how embarrassing it that? Our coach was even mad at us, he asked us, “ How are we going to host a take meet and look like visitors.” That really stuck with me throughout the day and especially when it was time for me to run my last race…. the 200m. While I ran this race I just thought of everything coach told us and remembered all the people I know that is watching me right now, I can't look like a visitor. And I did not I took first in my heat and had a personal record for the season.
