THE MEDAL!

Well as you can tell by my title there is a medal in this story. Well this medal was so difficult for me to achieve. Because my entire last season I was in a little rut I could only jump in the 16 ft marks and no higher and I was so pissed. My technique amazing you can ask anyone whose seen me jump. But it was the way I was attacking the board I just wasn't hitting it right.
 
Until or 5th or 6th meet I was with my friend Izzy he had just jumped an 18'3". And he saw that after I landed my glasses flew off and my jump was a 17'4". So he told me to try a jump without my glasses. And well so I did it was my turn I put my glasses in my shoes and I got set up to take off. I did my little mind physc up and BOOM in an instant I took off like a flash of lightning. I hit that board so damn hard I thought i heard it crack. In that moment I was in the air it felt like I was flying and that is my favorite part of long jump it feels so amazing like you never want to come down. And then boom I was down and they said MARK IT! And I was being so immpatient and then when they said 18'1" I was so excited I wanted to punch something because I was so pumped to be at my goal.

Now its league and it's my first jump I'm getting physced up. I was like lets see another 18 footer. Then BOOM I rocket off and smash through the board and then I came soaring down and then I heard those words everyone loves to hear MARK IT! And I was so anxious to see what I jumped and to my surprise she said 18'4" NEW PR! And that won me a 4th place medal in league I am the 4 best long jumper in our tracks league for JV.
