My First Meet Bang! Holy crap it is starting, I have to get moving. That was my first thought when I heard the starting gun. This all was my first cross country meet at Sanborn, Iowa on September 18, 2017. My parents were not able to come because my mom was sick.

This was a very important race to me because it was the first time I…
