Its Finally Time 4x400

Last Event of the the day the 4x400 meter relay race. This event gets everyone in the stands at the tip of their seat. In just about any Track and Field meet the finally this finally event decides the winner of the meet. The two teams that are neck to neck both need to bring the heat. With the official yelling last call the crowd gets anxious to see the start. As the teams line up in the order they are running the runners look at their opponents. Now as a runner you all know that you just cant under estimate your competition by the way he or she looks. The official yells "runners take your mark" your positioned dash out of the blocks so hard that it knocks back the block holder.
 "Set...Go!!!" The race is finally on and you are the first leg. Every Track and Field coach, runner or even fanatic knows that the strongest runner is the first leg. Now that you know exactly how to run a 200meter race you can estimate what there is you need to do for this 4x400. You get a great start and you break the stagger. This puts in the best position on the track. Now the race is head to head but its only the first leg. You come off the last curve and you see your teammate waving you in the exchange zone. You give all you got for the last 50 meters and push hard enough for you teammate to receive a good exchange. This is what makes the race even more exciting because it looks like the winners will be you. But the real reason why the 4x400 isn't as easy as it looks is because it takes commitment and giving up cant be an option.
Exchange from the secaond runner to the thrid was marvalious and even the thrid to the fourth but now the foruth runner has to bring it in. All they got everything they can give has to be given in order for their team to get first place. Your teamate comes hard off the curve and right intto the staright away. Knees high and arms pumping hard. Sweat dripping and heart raceing. The oppent team and your team are neck to neck its 45meters left who will win. Your teamamtes dips at the finish just enough for your team to win!!! FIRST PLACE!
This is what Track and Field is all about. You give all you got snd you represent your team in the best way possible. Everyone is proud of you as a great athelte but overall you prove to many people that anything is possible with a little dedication!
