So I wrote a couple of paragraphs and then my chromebook closed all my tabs and lost all my progress so this might be a little short. Anyway girls won, which I'm still in shock about. Granted they didn't run Jess cause she staying fresh for Penn relays, but I think we still would have had a chance because we won by quite a bit. Going in to the meet I was convinced that we didn't have a chance. I felt really weird like tired but not horrible and it was like I was getting scared because of not feeling horrible.The warmup was nice, I just felt really tired. Corning is such a beautiful place, we ran on this cute little raised path. We had a pretty long time to do drills and strides so I started getting really nervous. I got out well and I was right next to Pearl Cooper for the first two laps. I heard some guy say we were going just under 5 minute pace which is perfect but for some reasons it really freaked me out. I felt great except my legs were really fatigued but I was really scared and I kept thinking what if I cna't stay with her even though I know I should be faster than her. At the start of the third lap I started losing her and I just kind of froze up and freaked out when I should have gone with her. I don't remember the rest of the race as well but I finished in second like over 50 meters behind her. (She ran 5:02) I very disappointed with this race but I think it will help me in the future cause now I know were I fell back I can work on not being scared to go out. Ingrid and I did a short cooldown then we hung are legs and got ready to warm up for the 4x4. It ended up being Zoe, Emma, me then Ijeyi. At first Parker was like I don't want you guys running, we've already run the meet, but then he was like no you guys need to run. I got really scared cause I'd only done the 400 once before last year and I thought he meant we had to win the relay to win the meet. I loved racing/handing off to Ijeyi also I loved the 400. Zoe got us a lead but when I got the baton, the Corning girl (Emma Mason) was about 20 meters ahead of me I think. I shot around her which felt really good but my time was 65 so it wasn't a pr unfortunately. Ijeyi and Zoe both ran 65s and I think Emma ran a 67.
