Athletic Achievements

Today I had a very successful Track Meet! I broke many of my personal records. For the one mile I came in second out of the 6th grade girls! And there were quite a few girls participating in that event. And along with that I got one of my best times!!! As most of you know: I am a long distance runner, so I pushed myself and decided to do the 70meter sprint… I came in last, but not too, too, far behind. And my third and final event was the 200meter dash I had never done it before. Since I am not a accomplished sprinter I didn't think I would do so well. But guess what?!?! I got 3rd place! This is how it went…

I rush to the 200meter starting line. And I say, "I'm here! Sorry that I'm late." The man tells us all to line up. I choose lane #2. Since 2 is my lucky number! I feel the blood pulsing through my ears. Will I do well? Can I do it? Will I…? Millions of questions race though my mind as I take my mark. "On your marks, get set, BOOM!" I hear the gun-shot and everyone dashes ahead. Oh No! I'm at the back! I put every ounce of energy into my legs as I round the corner. Look! I am passing people, one by one. I see just Megan, A Berkshire girl and Ellie ahead of me. I keep running! And my mom later recalls, "I saw a blonde ponytail whipping back and forth as you passed everyone." Next I'm ahead of Ellie! Final stretch… I make  it! 3rd place!
