The 220 race By:Jamie K. #13

First I was staging for the 220 race. I was finally called in the last heat. When it was finally time for my heat to race I went up to the starting line. The starter said on your mark so I started doing knee tuck jumps to stretch out. Then the starter said get set, so I got in my starting position. Finally the starter said go so I sprinted off and I happened to notice I was in 1st place! All I could hear was the girls behind me huffing and puffing and the screaming fans. I was concentrating on getting to the finish line. When I was on the home stretch I could hear my teammates and fans yelling and cheering my name. It was a great feeling knowing I had given it my all and took 1st place. It was a relief to be done because I was so tired. My time was 33 seconds. Next time I run the 220 race I am going to work to beat that time. Looking back I had alot of fun in this race with all the cheering and taking 1st place!:)
