Brianna Carter (15-16 girls 2000m Steeplechase, 1st place)
Going to a national competition for the 1st time in 2 years was already super exciting. But to be running something I had only started seriously training for a few months ago was a little nerve racking. I canceled out those nerves by trusting the training Coach Derrick had given me and knowing that whatever happens was the best I could do on that day. It was very hot out there, especially on the track, but once I started running, I barely thought about it. The whole experience was a sense of normalcy I think all my fellow athletes needed, and getting to bring a national title home was just the cherry on top of the cake!
