| Last night we had the Conference track meet. We hosted it in Pella so that was cool. We ended up getting second over all out of 7 teams, and we only lost by 5.5 points to a team that's going 4A next year.. we're only 3A. Good news though, I'm the best long jumper in our Conference, that's awesome. I got first in 3 out of my 4 events, and we got screwed over in our last race so I got 3rd.. That's fine tho, I didn't really care at that point.
So after our meet last night, I went to Taylor's birthday party with like a hundred other kids. It lasted until after 12, and it was pretty fun, I was really tired tho. After that Jake and Will stayed at my house.
I have another meet at home on Monday. After that I'm finished with Track. Nice. | | |
| On Thursday I had a track meet at Knoxville. I won every event I was in, including a Long Jump of 18'11", a personal best for myself and tying the best ever for my age at the Knoxville track from 1984. Hopefully I get 4.5 more inches so I can have back-to-back records for long jump in 7th and 8th grade.

some how I got some Yankee.. | | |
| Um... yeah. I had a track meet last night. We finally won. In two of my events we got stadium records (sprint medley and 4x400). In the 4x4 I got my fastest 400 time ever, 56.3. I thought Gavin Burns from PCM had a fast time when he ran a 56.8 in the open 400, but I got a half second faster in a relay. Ha. I won all my events but got second in long jump. It sucked. Either the coach miscounted my steps or someone moved our mark. On my run through, I hit the board perfectly. On my first jump, I jumped off my wrong foot (what the hell is that??). On my second jump I scratched. After that I had the coach recount the steps, we ended up moving the mark back a whole step. After that a jumped 17'7" and then 18'1/4" which was my last jump and put me in second by 3/4 of an inch. That sucks ass, if I would have been fresh I would have won.
I have another meet tomorrow. Oh joy. | | |
| Wow so I haven't updated in like a month.. At first I couldn't remember why but then I remembered it was because two times in a row I typed these long entries and then submitted them and it told me I found a bug in Xanga and I was pissed.
On Friday and Saturday I was in Iowa City for a Future Stars basketball camp. It was really fun. I saw seestor on Friday night and we ate dinner with her, then she came to see one of my games. She saw the worst game though because my team didn't pass so I like never got the ball. In my games I scored 3, 13, and 7. It was pretty fun. I had one really cool kid on my team and he had a dunk and it was really awesome because he was like 6'2". That's my excitement for the weekend. | | |
| Track is getting a lot better now. Well, atleast after today's practice things are looking good. Yesterday we got rained on and couldn't really do much, but we did timed 200's and I did well. I got a 26.1 which is already better than my last year's best, it was also good enough to put me on top of everyone else in the 200 category (by at least a second). Today was a nice day out so we had an actual work out. We started by doing timed 400's. I got a 65.3 which is decent for the beginning of the season but gives me a lot of room for improvement. After that we split into sprinters/distance and coach wanted me at distance because I run 400s and it was nice because A-Lo had to come with me because he had a good 400 time. There we did 4 300's and then 2 200's. It was the best workout we've done. After that I went to long jump with A-Lo and Steve. It was awesome because I actually have the hitch-kick going good so I have the possibility of kicking ass..
