200m dash quarterfinal heat 5 of 9....... I'm in lane 4 turning the curve and eatin' up the pack. Coming down the stretch toward the finish line, but not leading the race. I think I can......

I think I can, I think I can.......................................................................................

As you can see by the results I ended up 3rd in my heat with a time of 25.54 seconds. The worst thing about all this is that there were 39 other girls with better times that mine, and only 24 go on to the semifinal round. If only I had won my heat! The fastest time of the day was from Olivia Ekpone, who ran 23.83 seconds. All I can say about that is, WOW!

Tomorrow morning I have the Long Jump at 8:00am CST and the Finals for the 400m Hurdles at 1:30pm CST.
