SUB 2 at sectionals and qualified to state! I took the advice from the team meeting to ignore the pressure from sectionals and it helped greatly. I was the first leg of our 4x800 team and I sat behind first most of the race and then made my move at the 600m mark. I closed really well and honestly had a good amount left in the tank and wasn’t completely dead after. The rest of the team did what they needed to in order to qualify to state and it was a great feeling. I ended running somewhere between 1:59.2-1:59.8 since the splits were kind of off. Later I doubled back in the 800 with Coop and made the mistake of going out too slow and I ended up paying for it by having to pass a lot of people at the end. I managed to run 2 flat which I am pretty happy with and I think it shows I can go for a faster time next week. I can’t wait to run at state soon and my main goal going in is just to have some fun and take advantage of the last race of the season!
