Tuesday the Cross Country team went to R-7 for a meet and the course is 1.9 miles. They only medal the top 10 runners. First we stretched and did our warm ups. Then once we got up to the starting line i was so nervous because i really wanted to medal for once. Then once the race started i sprinted till i got in the woods. I was in the top 15 for that part of the race then i started to pass more and more people till i got into the top 10. The race was just about over and i was in 9 place then i saw the finish line and i just started to sprint to try and pass the guy in front of me i got really close to passing him but i got 9th so i still metaled. I was the first 7th grader on the team to medal so i am really proud that i took 9th out of 78 people.
