Recount of athletics day

It was a beautiful day. The sun was streaming down against the red rough hurdles track.The day had finally come.The day of the Riverdale schools athletics.

My heart pounding as I take a very slow step to the start line with a feeling of nervousness. Then suddenly I hear a deep booming voice. It was Mr Bron. I lift my head up and I listen to his words. "Take your marks,get set," toot!


I take one foot of the start line and I start to race as fast as I can. "I'm doing well, I'm doing well," I say to myself. I see Ansley and Kate infront of me, but I still know that Charlotte is still behind me. My heart pounds even harder as I run faster and faster to try and catch up with Kate. By now I am tying with Kate but then she slips ahead of me and thats the race over I pass the finish line.

"Ohhhh bad luck," I say to myself. I would've made it throught to the finals but I had finished in 3rd place. I feel a little rush of anger run up my spine, but then I got over it.
