county champs = D
its SNOWWING!! dude maybe we will have a 3 day weekend. but im not gonna jinx anything. too bad the fresh/soph meet is tomorrow.. they wanted to run so bad.
so counties was yesterday and for the 11th year in a row Dulaney girls took the title! the guys got 3rd which is pretty good for them.. as for how i did, some things went well. i really cant complain too much but i dont feel satisfied.
the good news is that i placed 5th in the 300m but it was a tie and i got stuck with the 6th place ribbon. ha i dont really care about that. the 55m was decent, but the 4x200, the victory slipped right through our fingers..
our 4x200 was actually ranked 3rd and were seated in the fast heat so we were pretty confident about top six and excited at the chances of placing even higher. i was dissapointed with our lane assignment b/c the inside is so sharp, but we were doing fine until this girl from another team stepped in front of octavia after she had handed off to her teammate and there was a full body collision. octavia recovered but the other teams raced on unaffected.. luckily the team that stepped in fron of us was disqualified but we lost our shot for placing well. we ended up tying for 6th. i actually cant believe we made it that high but it was nothing to get excited over since we probably would have done so much better.
i think part of my dissapointment was that it was my last time ever racing at the armory. as much as i hate that place and its crapy concrete floor, i have a lot of memories in there.. 4 years worth. BUT this only means redemtion in regionals. we have over a week so hopefully we can get out on the track if the snow melts. its hard to always run inside but i guess its better than nothing.
well i get a break from meets and practices tomorrow because of fresh/soph. i told jordi id go to the mall with her but I DUNNO NOW. the snow keeps coming. i love when its unexpected like this.. you dont have to get your hopes up then be dissapointed. its s nice surprise. im thinking tomorrows gonna involve some snowballs. wudda ya think??
mmm i luuuv fridays. cya tomorrow!
..maybe ; )
