Track Finals '09

On June 5, 2009, the Cascade Conference Track and Field Finals took place on Woosley Field. Kings' home field. At a scorching 86 degrees, it couldn't of been any hotter. The conditions were amazing. I had only one event to take place in the Finals. The 4-by-2-relays. It is and event where you have four people running a distance of 200 meters.After you run your 200 meters, you hand a baton to the next runner. I was super nervous that day because the 4 by 2 was my only event in the Finals and I really wanted to be 1st place. My team consists of Andrew Holt, Sam Turpin and Connor McCauley. Andrew always runs the first leg. I run the second leg. Sam usually runs the third leg. Then Connor always runs the anchor position. During the finals race, our team was amazing. Everyone ran with a lot of heart and desire to win. We won! It was one of my favorite feelings in my life. It was priceless. I got to stand on the podium at the top with Sam. I was so proud of my team! Everyone ran their hearts out.
