Shelby Davidson - Let's Be Real
Published by
Let's be real here, racing is one of the most exciting things about being a cross country runner. But last weekend I am so happy I did not have a race! I had been going at it with pretty high key races for six weeks straight, so my legs really needed a rest. Going into this past week, I was super excited because my upcoming race was Cape Coast Conference, which is a huge local race for all of the teams in the county except for a select few. Plus, this race essentially marks the beginning of the post season races so it is a big milestone in my senior year career. Around the 2 mile mark I kept up my pace, and I gradually formed a gap. Once I had that space I wanted to keep increasing it, so I just kept running hard and I ended up getting 1st place by 16 seconds! I ran a 17:38 to get the new meet record, and I ran a personal best for the course so I was so excited. It was equally exciting to know that this was my second year being the Cape Coast Conference champion. To top it all off, my team got 1st place for the second year in a row, even though we were missing our #3 runner Kayla Greeson and the boys team won! We all were so happy and it was easily the best Cape Coast Conference race for the boys and girls collectively in Cocoa Beach history. Best of luck to everyone in their post season races! Shelby
