Fell running

couple of my friends and I saw an odd looking tree. I felt the need to sit on a weird curving branch so I started running towards the tree. Why I felt the need to run, I still don't know to this day. The park has a winding sidewalk that runs alongside the road. In between the two is a small decline of grass and ground. Whilst running, I tripped on my own two feet on that small slope and fell on my shoulder. I rolled over so my back was on the ground. At this point in time I couldn't feel any pain, I

cheer we bounced on our toes, yelling in a steady roar, our arms around each other’s shoulders. With the command to start running, we raced across the pavement, leaping over curbs and tree roots, yelling “STEP” as a warning to those behind us. When people could no longer run they fell out of the group, only to be joined by a fellow company member encouraging them to continue running. At 0530 all 500 of us made it to the field, leaning on each other and gasping for air, only to be greeted by a former

A personal experience I have went through in my life would be making it to districts in track and field my sophomore year of high school. Making it to districts was a big accomplishment for me and my teammates because track is something that I take a lot of my time to focus on and do multiple hours of training so I am able to compete with the other athletes. I come from a small town in Ohio called Oak Hill. The sport track and field is something you do not hear that much about because our high school

Imagine being at the peak of your high school career, personally, academically, and athletically. For me, that was my sophomore year. I was selected to be on the homecoming court, I won a free class ring, and a free corsage and boutonniere for prom. I was on my way to a 4.0 grade point average. I was pulled up to Varsity basketball, I became the 100 meter hurdle regional champion, and I qualified for two events at the Division 4 State meet for track and field. In one split second, a clip of a hurdle

Cross country is a sport for the dreamers. This fact becomes abundantly clear once setting foot out on the course. The atmosphere created by this determination and drive is palpable. A defining difference that separates cross country from other team sports is the lack of ill will towards other teams, rivalries are present but they provide for a greater sense of competition between schools. When looking up sportsmanship in the dictionary it says “refer to cross country”. What creates such a friendly

still coaches us to this very day! As camp began we became pretty close as a team. This was the first time Coach had seen his team have a strong bond of friendship. Even though camp was really fun, it sure was a tough week! The week consisted of running twice a day and eating lots and lots of food. By the end of the week, your legs felt like bricks. The first two months of the season had flown by and it was already October. It was

Chanda Kochhar once said, “Aim for the sky, but move slowly, enjoying every step along the way. It is all those little steps that make the journey complete” (Kochhar). Kochhar’s quote applies in our society today since every person has his or her unique journey but a true adventure is not always realized immediately. During my high school career, I ran cross-country and track, and this mission gradually took off in 11th grade. The 3rd cross-country season took off rapidly and this season I achieved

I had one of the best opportunities my freshman year. Throughout the whole track season I trained to make it to state track. This is a huge event in the state of Iowa for some of the top athletes who are involved in track and field. I was lucky enough to make it. Personally, I think my best event is hurdles. That is also what event I ran in during state. It was a team effort to qualify. I was apart of the shuttle hurdle team along with Avriel Miller, Livia Miller, and Johanna Vaske. All season

This was both calculated in meters and degrees so that it would be easier to find this location. This was needed to be found because otherwise, all runners except the one in lane 1 would end up running more than they need. This would cause the race to be unfair because with a greater distance, it would take a greater time to run the race. The former of the two methods, the starting position by distance, was determined by taking the total distance

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. The day after my grandpa died from helping a lady crossing the street when a car came and the driver was texting and then suddenly ran him over. So if I would win nationals I would dedicate the win for him. Before
