RACE OF MY LIFE!




So last weekend was the West Region Track and Field meet at Cal State Northridge. I came into the meet ranked about 14th and I was seeded in a very competitive heat for the prelims ranked 4th. The race went really well and I ran a outdoor PR of 2:06.5 and won the heat qualifying me for the final the next day. So the next day I ran the final, I wasn't quite ready for how fast it would go off and ended up in last place after the first 200M, I tried to quickly move up and was sitting at 4th coming through the 400 mark. I held my position to finish 4th with a lifetime PR of 2:04.89 and got the automatic bid to nationals! It was the most amazing moment of my entire 12 year long track career!!! James and his mom Sage were there to cheer me on and it was so great to have their support. Now I am preparing for Nationals in a week and a half in Des Moines, IA. Come cheer me on!
