Athletics

Yesterday during athletics, the 8th and 7th grade B and C team volleyball players had a tournament. The 7th grade A team was left with us off season people. I, personally, love being in off season. We get to pretty much run every single day. The first day wasn't the easiest, but when you run for almost every single day, you get used to it and have a pace set for yourself. The coaches made both the off season and A team run a mile. Running a mile at my pace wasn't super hard. The only problem was that it was raining hard earlier, so the track was wet and it was lightly raining. It's not that I don't like the A team volleyball players, it's just that their all snobs and they think that they're better than us because they actually made one of the teams. All of the coaches had to leave, so they left us there with the boys coaches. Having the guy coaches watch us probably wasn't the best idea because they all were working with the football players. When they told us to start, the volleyball players barely made it to the 100m line before they started to walk. We started to yell at them because if we slacked off during the mile, we would have to do snakes on Monday. Snakes are probably one of the worst things you have to do. You have to do run from one side to the other side of the football field and do up-downs. They are, in other words, horrible. We continued to run, but that didn't stop us from hearing what they said. They were saying things like, "I heard the off season girls do this everyday, so of course they can run a mile." and "We on the A team, we don't have to run like this." In other words, they sounded like wimps because they couldn't run. I mean, if you can sprint a whole mile then that's great for you, but if you know that you can barely sprint around a single lap without passing out, then you shouldn't sprint. Nobody cares about how long it takes you to run a mile. The only thing that really matters is if you can run a mile without walking. That was the only thing that mattered. After we ran the mile, we had to walk the track and that wasn't a good idea to because we were all playing around and talking. Yesterday was probably my favorite day in athletics and I can't wait till the volleyball players have another tournament.
