This
Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the days of the state track meet. The state
track meet is a big deal for all of the track athletes because it is one of the
main events that we train all season for. This year I was not able to qualify
for state but am very proud of all the members on my team that qualified. This
year my track team qualified in thirteen different event.
My
track team has been able to improve a lot over the season to enable us to
actually qualify a lot of our members for state. At the beginning of the year many of the
events on our team didn’t look very promising for qualifying for state but we
were able to improve a lot and qualify in more than expected. I think we
qualified in more events my freshman and sophomore year but many of those
events included the upperclassman who all graduated and this year our team had
more underclassman runners then we had upperclassman runners so it took a while
for the freshman to get adjusted to high school track but once they were able
to they improved. As a result of the underclassman improving it helped our
whole team improve and we were able to qualify in a lot of events.
State
track and the Drake Relays are the biggest meets in high school track and along
with conference and district they are the most important meets and are the ones
that we prepare and practice for all season. While my team had a lot of events
qualify for state we probably won’t score very many points at state. One of our
main focuses this year at the state qualifying meet was making sure that we
qualified in as many events as possible because we know that we probably won’t
be able to score many points at state so we weren’t really concerned about
stacking our relays to make sure we score the most points. We have a pretty
good chance of scoring points in the 3000 and the 100 because only the top
eight score at state. Other than that we probably won’t score in many other
events but my team is just happy to be able to run as many events as we are at
state. (386)
