My First State Experience

My first state experience was my freshman year in highschool. I was going to state for track, the 4 by 100 meter relay, the 400 meter dash, the 200 meter dash, and the 4/400 meter relay. We left to state on the last day of school after we warmed up on the track at our school. It was my first time on a charter bus, but the seats where itchy and not comfortable. I sat next to my best friend Rachel Hermreck, she was going as a alternative for the 4x4. The bus drive was a 2 hour drive and we stopped at Brams on the way there. I didn’t get any ice cream because I wanted to be at my best for my races the next day. When we got to our hotel it was amazing. It was a 2 floor mini house, with 2 bathrooms. 2 beds, 2 tvs, and a kitchen. Lets just say I was in love. I roomed with 2 other people and rachel.

The next day we got ready to leave when our coaches told us that the meet will be delayed and that we should be ready to leave any minute. That made me nervous because I didn’t know if I should eat something or not because if I ate too much then I wouldn’t run as well. It turned out that the meet got canceled for that day and later that night we went to the mall and shopped.

On the second day at state the meet got delayed again because of rain. We had to be ready at any minute to leave. We ended going to subway for lunch and after that we went to where we were running for state. We had to cram all the races that were meant to be 2 days long into 1 day, it was hectic. It was all cold and rainy but we still ran. My first race was the 4x1. That is always a fun race. I want really nervous till i was on the bench waiting for our turn to run. We ended up getting 5th place in that race, which is pretty good if you ask me. I had to rush and get my number for the 400 which was right after that. I always get nervous for the 400. There are a lot of good people running in the 400 and that didn’t help my nerves. I didn’t run my best, I wanted to run under a minute but that didn’t happen. I got 8th place, which is meteling. The last race I ran that day was the 200. Now I am good at this race but, there are a lot of people good at this race, like a lot. I got twenty something place but I ran my best. It was starting to rain half way through the boys running the 200 so they had to delay the race another day. The rest of my team had to leave but the people where where running the 4x4 and the last 200 boy runner had to satay.

That night we went to this creepy, granny looking hotel because we had to book it at the last minute. The next morning we went to panera for breakfast and then we went straight to the meet. After a little while it was our turn to run the 4x4. We were predicted to do really good. I am the first leg, then 3 other girls run after me. After the 3rd leg we were in a position to medal until our last leg. She ran the worst. I don’t know what happened but we ended up getting last in our heat, and not metaling.

After that everyone was pretty bummed. on our way home we stopped to eat and get ice cream. After we ate and got back on the road, everyone fell asleep. Even though we didn’t do as good I still had fun and I am looking forward to next season.
