2nd team…again 10.17.

so today was our conference meet and I dont really know what to say about it. I’m mad but i’m not? I got 16th so I got second team conference..again. Like I always do. The cut off for second team was 18, so I was glad that I at least GOT second team all conference. I almost missed it. Anywho, I ran 16:28, which is not my best. I hate the course though because its so flat and open. Well our FRESHMAN got 6th and ran like 16:02. He did amazing, and I was jealous. I’m not going to lie but I was pretty mad about that. As selfish as that may sound, but I have always been like the runner who never got any of the attention and was always outshined by others. This year was my chance to actually stand out and be our best runner. I mean the whole school knows me as “the runner” and that I am good. But now that a FRESHMAN got first team all conference and I got second team, that makes me lose my rep. It sucks. We have a winter sports assembly in like a month or two and they announce all the conference winners and such in front of the whole school. So I’m going to feel extremely stupid that I got second team all conference and a freshman got first team. Grr he’s really good though. I mean REALLY good for a freshman, so he should be amazing his senior year. It just stinks that I can’t ever be the one in the spotlight. I tried my hardest and as best I could, so I know there was nothing that I could change. Regionals are next week. I WILL be pissed if he makes it out onto sectionals and I don’t..so yeah hopefully I will place good enough to advance. Wish me luck!

1. I’ve always disliked pretty much competitions related to sports in school. It’s always that kind of thing that they hand out medals or something in front of the whole school and you’re always too bad to get one. Or at least I was. I’m a sore loser, can’t help it.
   Hey, good luck with it all!

2. Hey Mark!
   Sorry for the super late reply! But I know you’ll understand if I tell you that I blame it all on school, lol.

   Anyway, wow, that sucks! It’s always a bit annoying whenever someone who is younger than you happens to do much better. I know the feeling, and even though I feel bad about it, I also do get jealous, but I hide it well…I guess, lol.

   But anyway, I wish you all the luck in the world with regionals!!

   Hope you are doing very well!
