I have always enjoyed my position as the star of the track team, but a few months ago when we got a new team member, I felt like my record might be in jeopardy. The newest runner was faster that I was, and I didn’t want to have to be bumped to second place. I decided to start working on drills to run faster, and I practiced every single day after school. I had learned about some tips that were sure to help, and sure enough, my times just kept getting better. I quickly regained my standing on the team, and I set a new record for myself!
