Notes

Got 8th. Happy with wrapping up a rocky indoor season with an All-American. I think this race was somewhat of a mental turning point for me. I ran with the guys I needed to run with, but I didn’t race them. I put myself in position to get 8th, but not in position to win or get top 3. 4th place was only 2 seconds ahead of me. If I had just put myself where I needed to be in the first 800 meters, I could have zonened out and not had to keep fighting for position. I won’t race at a national meet without that confidence in myself again. I’m ready to win some big races.

You got this, Sam! Not every race at Nationals is an outstanding one, but you got yourself on the podium even on a not-so-perfect day. That counts for something. The road to awesomeness isn't perfect, but this is a step in the right direction. So sorry to hear about your ankle!!!
