My determination to qualify for state

The conference meet is next week, and it’s not just any race—it’s the race. My only shot to qualify for state. No second chances, no do-overs. Everything I’ve worked for this season comes down to that one meet. Every sprint, every rep, every late night and early morning—it’s all leading up to this. The pressure’s real, but so is the hunger. I know what’s at stake, and I know I can’t afford to hold anything back. This is the moment I either rise to it or watch it pass me by.
