Ann and the top finishers on the podium Photo By: Beth Elkin
This past weekend we raced at Nike Cross South Regionals. I was really happy with my race at state but knew that didn't guarantee anything for Nike so we had two really good, hard weeks of training and I was really excited to race again. Going into the race my goal was to get top 5 so that I could qualify for Nationals. Once again it was a super muddy race but having just raced at the state course gave me a little confidence. From the time the gun went off I tried to get in the top 5 and then stay in the top 5. I was in the lead pack at the beginning but when the race started to separate I just focused on staying in the top 5 and then finishing as hard as I could. I ended up finishing 5th which I was very happy with. I am so excited that I get the opportunity to make another trip to Portland and to race one more week. My team ended up placing 5th. This isn't how we hoped to finish, but I am still so incredibly proud of how all of the girls ran this past weekend and throughout the whole season. I have never met a group of girls more dedicated to their goals & their teammates. I am truly blessed that I got to enjoy the season with them by my side. Nike South is definitely a race that I am going to miss, but I am really looking forward to the trip to Portland & racing again next week!!
