New Changes

For most of my track career, I never really imagined doing anything but sprinting and hurdling, mainly running the 100 meter dash and the 100 or 300 meter hurdles. I absolutely love the 300 hurdles; just thinking about the race gives me butterflies. I have a passion for hurdling and I am always looking for improvements. When I started my senior year I was ready to work hard so I could win the 300 hurdles at state but as the season progressed I started to realize that I was becoming good at the 200 too. I hadn’t ran the 200 in over a year and  a half so I didn’t know if I had potential or not. My coach entered me in the 200 at a meet and I was up against some really fast girls from Littleton and Arapahoe. I ended up winning the 200 and my time put me in as 2^nd in state. The only problem with running the 200 and the 300 hurdles is that they are back to back, but surprisingly enough, I keep breaking my personal record even when just running the 300 hurdles. It’s been a good change for me and it shows that I am not only in shape but good enough to run two events back to back and I never would have thought that the 200 would be my event.
