~:[CH3 - Day 129]:~ Rise to the Challenge
The excitement built throughout the day for the competition that would come that night. With one of my favorite econ activities, exchange rates to being able to grab a quick dinner and milk tea before heading to the track meet, the day itself started well. I didn't realize how busy I would be through the day, but making calls for races, announcing results, reviewing the results and trying to coach, is quite the task. With one of our athletes going down, it made things more hectic, but knowing she was alright put some good closure on the day. As the results piled in, it finally ended on the track with our boys 4x400m pulling out the third place finish and taking a CIF qualifying spot. As I compiled results, I looked up and realized that the vault was still going on and headed over just in time to see one of my athletes set his new PR and qualify for CIF as a sophomore, he finished second to another one of athletes, a senior, which capped the night off. We ended with six individual CIF qualifiers plus a relay team, 12 all-league athletes plus a relay team, 19 frosh-soph top 3s plus two relays, and eight league champions plus one relay. With a stop at BCD and a lengthy drive after, I was beat, but looking back on the day, it was all worth it. As a side note, congrats to my buddy Gui, whose athlete broke two league records in the 800m and 1600m set in the 60s and 70s!
