Earlier in the day Marissa texted me a brief message saying she was feeling terrible. She has been suffering with congestion since Wednesday. I had hoped she'd feel better by today but these things usually take one to two weeks to clear up. As soon as school got out I gave her more water and medicine. She started to feel a little better before the race during warm ups.
4x800 m relay
The girls start the meet off with the 4x800 relay. The order is: Julia to Marissa to Christina to Grace. Unfortunately the South girls team was disqualified for earrings so the girls ran with the boys uncontested. It was hard for them to run without any competition. We did fairly well considering with a first place finish of 10:31.

Her next event is the 1600 m. She is in the lead in the first lap but falls to second on the second however she maintains her place the whole time and comes close to taking first in the last 100 meters. She finished in 2nd place with a new season best of 5:41. She said she still had a lot to give. She also qualified to run the mile at the Eastern relays!!!
