Well throughout those years I never knew that running would become a passionate thing for me. Soon before I knew it I was entering John Chavis Middle School thinking that my first year being on a real track team was about to begin, unfortunately in middle school you had to be in the seventh grade to participate in any sport. So I waited until then. Track became my first true love. That year I placed first and second throughout my conference. I even made it to county and placed third in the 100m and fifth in the 200m. At the end of that track season I received the 2004 girls MVP award.

Impatiently waiting for the next season to start I talked about track constantly. Year 2005 approached slowly of course and track season began again. I went to county for my second time placing third in the 100m and second in the 200m which improved drastically and the season was over. Before I knew it my middle school track years was over. My ninth grade year in Cherryville High was about to begin that also meant another fresh start for track. But this time was different for me; I was a lot more nervous, less confident, and worst of all I was the only girl on the team.

I placed first in the 400m and 200m, and second in the 100m at regional’s and was on my way to state for a third time. I made it in all three events, so I was really exhausted and didn’t do my best. But I did make it in the finals only in the 400m and placed the third state champion.
