Qualifications

During the indoor track season, the team competes in only a few meets. These 'meets' are actually not even meets because no winner is declared; they are just a time/place for teams to run and get times that are fast enough to qualify for the MAC indoor championship. This is the purpose of the entire season, to run fast, qualify, and then compete at MACs and hopefully win. In the meet this past weekend, held at Haverford College, I ran in the mile and was 8 seconds away from qualifying :( I still have more chances to qualify at the upcoming meets but I was really disappointed and hoping to make it that day. I am very determined to meet my goal now and get my time down, which I feel I will be able to do since I have two solid weeks of training and speed work before the next opportunity to run at a meet. It is really exciting watching your teammates run and make the times because they are so excited and it is better for your team at the championship race. I will keep you updated once I run in the next meet!! Wish me luck!!
