track due to there not being a team and I missed the tryouts for the 8th grade track and Cross Country so I missed that year too. The next year my friend told me I should join the Jr. High Cross Country team. I was a bit skeptical about this because I didn’t have an idea what to expect from Cross Country. We got a new coach who was the top runner in the state for Cross Country. He followed last year’s summer Cross Country practice. I received the schedule and showed up for the first practice.

The most important event in my life was when I beat the record for the fastest time in running the 40 yard dash for all of the University in the whole world, and for Kentucky University track team. It took place at the Mercede-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on June 12, 1922.

So if I would win nationals I would dedicate the win for him. Before

didn’t think it would make a difference. I didn’t participate in activities, because I didn’t think it would make a difference. I didn’t try to change the world, because I didn’t think I would make a difference. But all this changed when I joined the cross country team. Prior to that, I had never participated in a school sport before; everything changed when I realized how important running was to me personally.

Track and Field As a track runner, it is a necessity to be relaxed yet focused and determined. When I participate in track meets or even at practices, I receive a comforting warmth just by stepping onto the track. I feel as though burdens and worries temporarily lift from my shoulders.

Having been a Cross Country and track long distance runner in high school I always had the dream of running and completing a marathon. The perfect example of me succeeding and failing a goal at the same time occurred in March 1990 when I ran the Los Angeles city marathon. When I entered the race, my goal was to finish in 3 ½ hours running 8 minute miles, not completing the race had never crossed my mind. My training had been going fine until approximately six weeks before the race I pulled a groin

The Ankle, It was October 2016 of my junior year, right in the heart of the Cross Country season. Cross Country was fun and team was doing great, but I was looking forward to the upcoming winter track season. High jump is where it is at and that is where I wanted to be and then it happened… I went down and my ankle was caught underneath me and twisted. I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but I was hurt. I was on the ground, in pain as other racers passed me. I was able to get to the finish it wasn’t

In the years that running has been part of my life, I have had some and unique memories. Just as importantly, I’ve been able to witness dramatic change within the sport in so many areas. Besides the obvious improvements in training, it seems as if practically everything I knew as a high school freshman, has been either replaced by a positive upgrade or deleted altogether from the running scene. Back in high school while doing workouts on extremely hot days, we were offered salt pills which were
