I know what you're thinking...another (maybe boring to you) post about cross country. Im sorry. I can't help it. Its taken over my life.
ANYWAYS!
Today we had our first dual meet. Basically, this means our meet was with 4 schools. Like a regular junior high meet is. Mountain View goes to invitationals on the weekends, usually there is between 30 to 50 schools at each of these meets. Its insane!
Our coach told us to treat this meet as a 'hard workout' because we have an invitational on Friday. In Queen Creek! I am so dang stoked! We getta run at night.
It. Will. Be. LEGIT!ANYWAYS!

The top 20, or somethin' like that, get GLOW IN THE DARK SHIRTS! Like seriously? No way. Annnnnd-we getta run with glow sticks. I am pumped. I WILL race good Friday. No doubt.
Sorry, Sorry. Back to the point...we took this meet easy so we wouldn't be dead for the important meet on Friday. Well, it was probably one of the most fun, relaxed meets I've ever witnessed. We stook together the whole entire race! Our boys didn't break apart till the last 200 meters. It was so cool to see--shoulda been there. Our girls did awesome. We put our injured girls in & they ran along with us. Our junior varsity (that's where I am) gotta keep up with the varsity. It honestly gave me a huge self confidence boost! Although those girls were going alot slower than they usually do, I felt fast & good. I am so prepared for Friday...those girls don't even understand how much they did for me. I love my team. 'Nuff said...
For those of you who aren't on a team, I just want to tell you how much you are missing out on. Whether your family is your team, or your friends, or your coaches, make sure you tell them how awesome they are everyday. Im sure that once you're off the course or the plate, they'll still cheer for you. I know my team does. They got my back & are willing to help me with anything. Mountain View was blessed this year to have a co-ed team. This is the 1st time in years that we've shared the same coach & I think it's one of the best things to happen! Our team is so close. We are unstoppable. Most of all, we love each other. We couldn't do it without each other. We depend on each other.
I just want to tell all my toros that I truly love you guys. You have been awesome teammates. You inspire me everyday to improve running. Coach, you've made me want to continue my running career outside of high school--that's huge. You guys have not only been good teammates & coaches, but have been great friends! Thank you for having my back.
love love,
A
