Track & Field Life
2 back to back years we missed regionals for the 4x4 by 1 or 2 spots. This year was going to make 3. 25th out of 24 teams. I secretly wanted to kill our teammate who blew out chance to qualify running like a high schooler at conference. To make matters even worse we got 3rd at conference 😒. Monday I was planning to go home, drink and be a bum until I leave for Oregon. As crazy as it sounds a team scratched Monday! The week of regionals! So we made it in. It’s crazy how god works
