Another Cross Country Meet

I had another meet on 10/1, this one was at Snohomish against about 12 other schools. This time the 7th grade boys went first instead of the 7th grade girls. Then the 8th grade boys went and finally, the 8th grade girls. The race was about 1.4 miles long, so it was not as far compared to our other races. After the 7th grade girls had finished we started to get ready by stretching, and doing form runs. The next thing I heard was the whistle going off for us to start. I was in first place for the first hundred meters but then people started to catch up and pass me. I ended the race in 27th place. I may have gotten 25th place if my friend Will hadn't cheered me on. The guy I was trying to catch up heard Will and went even faster. Then another guy passed me right at the last second! It was a fun race and I hope to run it again sometime next year. Even though it alerted the other team's runner I appreciate Will's support. Jimmy, our #1 runner, got 8th place! We got 4th for every race and we got 4th overall as a team.
