I Look up and see all the girls run off from the blocks, all the nerves start to come in, and I realize I’m next. I step into the block, and boom!, the “gun” sounds, and I’m off.
As a sprinter, most races go by pretty fast so sometimes I don’t realize how short and quick they are. I’m always nervous before a race and usually you can tell that I am. I either play with my rings, start rocking back and forth I even start to look around to see what the others are doing.
Oakmont’s track team has about 50 people with our coaches being Ms.Woodworth and Ms.RB, both middle school teachers. I like our team the only thing that bothers me is the fact that there are more boys than girls, but that’s ok because girls usually do outdoor track instead of indoor. Overall I love this sport, the friends I’ve made the things I’ve learned, and I’m excited to see what’s in store for the future.
