The new guy

I've had seven relatives that had graduated from my high school 5 of them had run cross country and had left a footprint, So the coach was already expecting something out of me and I felt like I had to give the best out of me.

Due to soccer tryouts and my joining the team late, I dint race freshman year and waited till the track season. At the time I didn't mind because the team which had 6 seniors in varsity ended up placing 3er in league finals and qualified to CIF. 

During my freshman year track season I was far from even being in varsity I was trying to run a mile under 6 minutes while the rest of the team was smashing school records and getting recruited to run in college. I thought about leaving but in the end, chose to stay.
