In Rylee's words:
"Last Friday, was the last track meet of the season. We were against Lewis & Clark and Lowell Scott Middle Schools. The events I competed in were discus, long jump, 100 meter and 800 meter.
Some friends; Kirsten Forrester, Justine Jewell, me and Melissa Brown. 
This wasn't the best meet for me. The long jump went ok. I usually average 12 ft 10 in, this meet my highest was 10ft. There were students measuring the jumps and the line judge wasn't always fair.
I jumped a total of 3 times and my mark was off, so I scratched twice....so she said (line judge).
This was my first time doing the 800 meter, the coaches asked me to do it the day before, so I was scared. There were a lot of girls in this event. It was really crowded. We had to be divided up into two groups for two different starting places.
My good friend Melissa was also competing in this race.
The 800 meter is two laps around the track. I was given the task to do it in 1:20 per lap. I got caught at the last 50 behind two girls.....
and then my friend Melissa passed me!
I ran it in 2:54.7 and that's good for it being my first time, but because Melissa passed me, she gets to go to districts. I'm sooo mad! Not at Melissa, but because I got boxed in by the opposing team."This was a rough meet for Rylee. She came home VERY disappointed and in tears. She really wanted to go to districts. Guess this was a "character building" meet for her. :)
