At first, I never thought of track as a sport that kids join.
I was always more interested in the traditional sports like football, basketball, and baseball.
But in 8th grade, in the first game of the football season, first play of the game, I suffered a clean break on my left wrist! This obviously took me out of those sports for the time being.
When my wrist healed in the spring, my mom, who always wanted me to stay busy with sports, told me, “Alright, now you’re here, you still have to go do something!
