Thanks to the preseason polls....

...I have some motivation. (This is kind of a pointless thread so you don't have to read it if you don't want too.)
Well in North Dakota they come out with rankings of who they think will be in the top 10 each week. Coaches are the ones who vote for this and today the preseason rankings were in the newspaper.
Last year I was ranked at the end of the season but I didn't do well at state where I took 15th. If you look just at last years cross country I shouldn't be in the top 10 but in track I beat a lot of the girls who were ranked this week. For instance the girl who is ranked first didn't even place in the 3200 at state track. I wasn't in the top 10 this week but now I just really want to go run in a meet to prove to everyone that I deserve a spot there. So that is my motivation to show that I should be ranked in the top 10 and at state to place in the top 10.

well i guess thats good.. ha.

I can't wait til they start putting up team ranking here in Michigan.
Last year at the end of the season they said that it looked like it was going to be clearly a battle between the teams that placed in the top 2 for D4 and that nobody else would really have a shot because those teams were only losing 1 senior...well my team placed 3rd at state and we only lost 1 senior too and the rest of our Varsity were all Freshmen...we're out to prove that we CAN be a part of the battle this year for the title!
I just love it sometimes though when people underestimate you because when you prove them wrong it makes you feel great.
Good Luck trying to get ranked!

his post wasn't any different than quoting someone and posting +1 or something like that, which you/I do all the time...

ok I didn't say right. I didn't do as well as I wanted/hoped to do at state last year.

im back. wow. just wow, you definitely deserved to be ranked for sure. you're older now and state was just a bad race. i really thought you were gonna be ranked like top 8 at least.

i would die to take top 15 at state; someday i'll be up there

I'm lucky if I get top 15 at districts.
