Wednesday, May 20 the few select individuals who qualified for State headed out for Casper to show what they had worked so hard for this last year. On the way we stopped in Riverton and had a small practice to get the bus junk out of our systems. Kirsten and I had fun running on their turf following the circles, letters, and numbers. Then we boarded the bus for the finishing time to beautiful Casper. Thursday we left the hotel and headed to Ihop where we ate up so we could be ready for the big races that day. The first event was the 3200 which I had the privilege to run. I ran it in 12:45, a new Personal Record!! Then I sat in the tent the rest of the day awaiting the last event, the 4x800. Our team, made of Kirsten, Randi, Abby, and myself, took sixth place and ALMOST broke the school record. I ran my fastest split of 2:36 and felt pretty good about the race!! The rest of the weekend I spent filming my peers and getting the best tan of my life!! OUCH! It was fun to finally go to state track; an experience I will remember for a long time!
