Overall feelings about the race: It went really well. I came in second overall so that is very exciting. The pace was fast at first but i was determined to stay in the top 15 the whole race. Last 200 i was in 4th and outkicked the very good midwest girls to come in second. It was a competative race but also really fun!
Best part of the race:  The best part of the race was knowing that i was running with the best cross country runners in the country. It is an honor to know i am among them and able to run with them. Also, the beginning with the introductions is cool too!
The FLCC Experience:  The Foot Locker expeirence is really undecribeable. It is just an awesome expeirence to be part of. From the hotels to the race all of it is really exciting. The best part is meeting all the new people from the different regions and becoming friends with them.

Personal note:  That if you believe in something and set a goal you just need to work at and you will be able to achieve it! Never give up on yourself and keep on believing. Also, thank you for all the support from my city, friends, and especially my whole family!
