Last week I had an exciting section track meet, as I qualified to run in the state meet in both the 3200 meter (two mile) run and the 1600 meter (one mile) run. It was a super exciting day and many of my teammates had really solid performances, despite it being over 90 degrees! We had raced in late-May at our sub-section meet, which decided who would qualify for sections. You had to be in the top four places of your event. I won both the 1600 and 3200 at the sub-section meet and I was seeded pretty high going into the meet, so beforehand I wasn’t very nervous because I knew almost for sure I would qualify.
