Not a very happy day for me. Started out with 1 mile w/up than waited for my first race. My first race was the mile which I ran in 5:32 which is a good time actually it is my best official mile, the thing that disapponted me was my place I got 3rd which is not good enough to get to state. My second race was a 800 and I am pleased with my time, but once again my place was not good enough to get to state I got 5th.

There is one thing that I think they need to change Is the age groups because every single person that beat me was 14, not only that but they were all quite a bit taller more muscular just a lot more mature than me.

Its not that I am disapointed in my self its just that I was working really hard for this and I really wanted to make states than maybe even nationals. But I still got 2 PR's

Don't be disappointed you got 2 pr's. You will be blowin all those boys away soon. Just be patient and put in the work. I think you did spectacular.

I agree with Josse, it's hard to be happy when you didn't achieve your overall goals, but you did get 2 new PR's. I think you need to keep in mind that everyone's body matures physically at a different time. Keep working hard, and you will see those times come down.

Great job James. That 800 was great after running the mile first. Like everyone says hang in there and the fast times will only get faster.
