It was a tough one for Tara! Her favorite race...the 400, she was primed and ready to go. It had been a tough week for her with a visit to the Emergency Room with abdominal pains, but she struggled through and made it to compete at District Track in Stanfield. It was a sunny, beautiful day, she had her family there to cheer for her and the starting gun split the silence and everyone was off the starting blocks. We could see early in the race that she was going to have a struggle. When she came around the last curve she was pumping her arms and trying as hard as she could, but as she got closer to the finish line...we knew it was going to be close...very close. She came in Third (only First and Second make it to State) and her world came crashing down. It took her a while to get her composure back, but she did!
Here she is on the podium with all the other gals that ran the 400. Tara found out she ran her Personal Best and we are so proud of her. All these other gals are older than her and a little more seasoned. We know we will see great things in the future! Now...on to next year!!!
