The 1,600-meter felt actually felt amazing — I already had the 3,200-meter under my belt, and I just focused on having fun and keeping the pace I have been repping in practice. I let my gratitude for my coaches and my teammates carry me through the finish line. I am excited for regions, but also sad that it will be my last time at a high school meet with most of my friends, so I am taking every day bit by bit, doing my best to soak up the time I have with the team I love so much. I can’t wait to see not only what I can do, but what my teammates can do on the track and on the field.”
