Ok so yesterday I told you about my day until I got to the track meet. When we got there at 8:45 a.m. Everyone took off their sweats and revealed their shorts and tee-shirts that were underneath. We then ran around the track a few times just so we could get a feel for the corners. Half the class was two slow to take off their sweats and by the time they were right in fromt of the track the loud speaker anounced:"Everyone please get off the track we are closing the track" It was 9 a.m. the time the track meat starts. This is the order of things at the meet:

bantom/midget girls-whatever event

bantom/midget boys-whatever event

junior girls-whatever event

junior boys-whatever event

senior girls-whatever event

senior boys-whatever event

Since we were running the junior girls relay as our first even we had time. So while we were waiting to run our first event we watched the bantom/midget girls relays and long jumps. That way our long jumpers and our relay runners will know how to start off since none of us had ever run at a meet before. When they called:"Junior Girls 4X1 lap relay" Samara, Delane, Jasmine and I ran to the check in so that we would have time. The others, including our teachers went to the edge where they could watch the race. Our coach passed and we told him we did not have a baton and that we cannot run a relay without a baton. He said that he left his batons in the trunk of his car and it would take 10 minutes to get it when we had less than that until the race. He said he would try to find someone he knew and borrow their batons. As the race was approaching we told our teacher that our coach had not come back with a baton yet. We heard her say the worst swear words and we could not believe it, but then since she is only 24 she is exactly like us. We are called onto the track and our coach is still not back. Fortunately we were only siting in the middle of the track we had four more heats until we ran. Then we saw our coach, we signaled him and then we saw he still did not have a baton. And guess what, he was still cool he was not rushed or worried. When we had one heat to go before we ran we saw him come back and throw a baton at us. YES WE ARE SAVED ME AND MY TEAMMATES ALL THOUGHT. When they were giving us the instructions the guy who was giving it to us was so enthusiastic. When he said:"blah blah blah you will be disqualified" he pretended to cut off his head. Now I shall leave you in suspense. It will take me about a week to tell you the whole story because it is amazing and because it took 8 hours and there is alot to say but you must check back everylittle while.
