It all started my freshman year of high school. My second year of running cross county I did not really try at first until one day when our coach said if you do not give it your all every day you cannot go to the state cross country meet. We had a few weeks till our first meet and we were far be hide but catching up fast. The times were getting faster and faster, but at the rate we were going we would not make the first meet with goo scores. We all sat down and talked “we all have to reach deep to find our true potential within us” our coach said, so we wall took it upon ourselves to do better. The next day at practice I stepped up. There were 6 weeks till state and we had a cross country meet every Saturday until state. Day by day my times
