WOOOOOOOO!
Katella relays was amazing. i was entered in the 4x1600 Varsity and 4x400 Varsity. we got second in the 4x1600 and third in the 4x400. My mile time was pretty acceptable, but im aiming to get a much better time this thursday in the first South Coast Dual meet against mission. i got two different times told to me. one being a 4:56 and the other being a 4:59, but im going with the 4:56, cuz it was from someone on the ground. i never heard my 400 time, but im guessing it was somewhere in the 56's cuz our team time went down three seconds from Irvine. now for the actual races. First was the 4x1600 at 9:50am. it was gonna go Dane first, Wendel second, Ramsey third, and i was supposed to round it off and finish it up for us. Dane ran a good time of 4:45 to get us into third. He passed on to Wendel who ran the fastest mile out of all of us, and Insane 4:40, but still we were in third. he passed it off to ramsey, who came in at a 5:00, but by this time we fell behind by like two or three meters into fourth. I was handed the baton, and now it was my turn to get us a good finish. about 150 meters into my mile, i move us up from fourth into third place, just breezing past the guy ahead of me. but as i pick up the pace slightly, he decides to come along with me. for the next three laps its just me and him, him drafting off of me, and me leading, probably expecting to outkick me. theres 200 meters to go until i reach the finish line. i get bumped into fourth place. i cannot believe this, i actually fell for his plan. he started his kick at the 200 meter mark, and i couldnt do anything about it. 150 meters to go it looks like its all lost, hes gotten even further away. BUT NO, I WANT MY VARSITY POINTS! i start to kick, determined to outsprint him by all means. 125 meters to go, heh heh sucker, hes eating my dust now, theres no chance hes even gonna catch me now cuz im still accelerating. 110 meters to go i see two more kids ahead of me. theyre a good 15 meters ahead. i cant believe this, i could actually get us first place(thats basically what i was thiking). i decide to put all ive got into catching them and outsprint them. 75 meters to go, im right on their asses. 50 meters to go, its just me and Santa Ana. 40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, 15 meters hes dead. i sprint all out for the last 15 meters, and i believe i got us first place. but it turns out that anaheim was in our division, and they got first, but dont know by how much. but that was the greatest finish i have ever experinced. I took my team from fourth place into second place in a matter of 150 meters. i outkicked three people, something i didnt think was possible. it was the greatest experince of my life. the 4x400 meter, all the credit goes to John. he caught the third place guy and out kicked him to the finish line. well im at 3.5 points right now, and i only need four more. hopefully i can score against San Clemente, or if i get one more chance of running the 4x400 again. i really wanna letter this year.
