Personal:

I'm a junior at Hurricane High School. I love music. I sing in the chamber choir and I play the piano and the guitar. Other sports that I love include basketball, soccer, and racquetball. By the way, if anyone's up for a game of racquetball, I'm game! Anyways, gotta run...

Iced down Wednesday night when I got home and got in bed after studying for A.P. History test. I was ready to run the 3200. I decided I really wanted to go for the school record in the 800 so I didn't push it at all in the 3200. I just drafted off Jon from Cedar until the last lap and made sure I just beat him at the end. In the 800 I ran a 59 first lap, which was too slow for the record, then I picked it up and kicked it in at the end to win with a 1:56.40. Only .18 faster than our school record! My legs burned for 10 minutes afterwards! It was horrible but I got the record. So in all I got 2 school records this year, and 2 region records! Now it's time for state! I'm excited! Our team got 2nd by 7 points. We messed up in the javelin and a few places, but I know we can take Cedar at state.
