Track's Cool, but the Field's Better

Track (field in my case):
So, today (Tuesday March 31st 2009) is the first track meet of the season. Woo Hoo! Yeah, well it kinda sucks for some people. If you dont make the top 8 people of your event then you basically are "an extra". You still get to compete, though "if there's times". The top eight people need to go first so they can score for our team and we will win. Which I understand, but it basically sucks if your a newbie like me, because there are all these seniors and juniors that are so amazing at their event that they basically automatically get to be in the top eight. So, I get to compete still, well maybe. But anyway, it's today at 4'oclock against Milton and we WILL beat them. (So we hope). (:
