running scared

McKayla has had a bit of a frustrating track year. She has improved all year long but it has been in increments of 1-3 seconds each meet. She doesn't feel she has really improved. Maybe last year was just too dramatic where she would shave 15 seconds off. Guess you can't expect to keep that up forever. However, her goal all year has been to qualify for the State meet by her time (you can also qualify by placing in the top 4 at Region which is how she did it last year). There is only 1 meet left before Region and McKayla still needs 2 seconds off her 3200m to qualify and 5 seconds off her 1600m to qualify. She is getting scared!
