This is always the hardest race to mentally handle. It is the middle of the series, you have fatigue from the first two races, and the end seems far away.
However in less than one months time, it is all over. This is actually when the series is won. Not on the first or last race but what you do in between.
Be on top of the little things all week. Prepare yourself.
We are in great position as teams to have two to three teams in the overall in the state. I hope that brings everyone some inspiration.
Winning a state championship as a team is something that you will have the rest of your lives. You might not think of it now as something to cherish, but one of my favorite high school memories is when I won a district championship with my high school relay. I don’t remember the parties, or the super important music show I had to see, but winning that relay is printed in my head. It was worth the sacrifices I made.
