Hey everyone! I hope your spring break was as great as mine was, unfortunately it's time to get back into the swing of things at school. Having a week and a half off from school was great and everyone is moving just a little bit slower this week, but overall it feels good to be back in school again.
Union Catholic is full of excitement right now as we have many events coming up in the next few weeks. The Mr. UC Pageant is next week along with the SMAC Quarters for Cancer Dinner, and our spring sports are in full swing. In fact our track team will be competing at the Penn Relay Carnival this weekend at Franklin field at the University of Pennsylvania. This is an international meet that features the top athletes from around the world and it provides kids with an opportunity to run with the very best. Our girls will be running in two relay events and our boys will be running in two relays as well as one individual race. I will be running in the individual race as I will be racing in the 3000 Meter Championship Race.
In order to run in this race your entry must be accepted and you must be invited to run. Our relays qualified for Penn during the winter and we found out that we were accepted just last week! We are all very excited to race and I can't wait to get out on that track. Many of the other members of the track team will be attending the meet to come and support us which is awesome.
This meet is considered the biggest meet of the year (at least on the high school level) and you take what you learn from this weekend and use it to help yourself grow as a runner and competitor. The meet takes place over three days and last year over 140,000 people attended the meet over those days. I can't wait to run in front of a crown as big as that and I hope I can run the very best of my ability! It's going to be a once in a lifetime experience and everyone competing is going to give it everything they have. We're all pumped and ready to go, and I'll let you know how we do!
