Wow whatta ride. So much to say about my career here but the first thing is how grateful I am about having the team that contributed to where I am today. Sure, on a better day where it wasn’t 85 and sunny I probably could’ve qualified. But even if I did, I would still be just as proud as I am now. My sophomore year was good, and junior year was not great, but this year I can say with great pride that I put everything on the table. XC sectionals, my state race, and this track season were great highlights. I was happy deep down every second to help our team when the red devil called. Max Bunny Garg and Cubbin, y’all made me realize how to be a good teammate, racer, and friend. Lawrence, it’s been a ride, and there was no one I would rather be coached by. On the race I paced well coming in at 4:44 but the heat got to some of us in there and closed in 4:58 or so. Needed 63 to qualify and was on pace for 150 meters on last lap then just hit that horrible wall, worse than any race I have ever experienced. That was my hardest race of my entire career. What a night for us though. Bunny going 46.5 and the others doing well was definitely the highlight. Still have the ability to go down with the 4x800 and still have Magis, so it’ll be a fun few weeks. 2:03.8 (2023) 4:32.7 9:43.7 15:35 🫡
