First Track Meet

Last Saturday was Mount Marty's first track meet where weather allowed us to run. The bus left at 7:45 to travel to Wayne State University. With six teams there altogether, it was a small meet where everyone placed very well.

My first event was the 4x1 relay. We usually do not run this event but thought it would be fun to put a team together. Even though we did not place it was a fun race and got our legs warmed up and ready to run our other events.

A couple of hours later, with the wind still blowing hard, 400 hurdles was my next event. I knew the last 100 of the race was going to be hard so I made sure to push it my first 300. I ran very well posting a time of 68.1 close to my personal best. I ended up 4th overall in the event. I has very happy with this time for the very first meet.

My last event, the 4x4, was only an hour after my hurdles but I recovered and was ready to run. Our team did alright not running our best time but it was good to get outside and run in a meet so we knew what we had to improve on.

Overall, the meet was very successful and everyone came out ready to run. I hope we can get some decent weather to run in within the next couple of weeks. Chance of snow at the end of this week! I can't believe we are expected to get snow in April!

Until next time,

Carly
