I didn't think I would use this again until track season but I'm just too happy rn👍🏾
Coach Roberts has taught us to visualize so much & I love to do it but for some reason I always visualized myself finishing behind addi and Silvia, but I thought.. Since this was region I needed to go into this race thinking I would do everything in my power to stay up with them. Addi lead the first lap which was the short one and she got us in a really good position . Silvia lead the second lap which was the big one. Our pack felt like it was pretty far ahead of everyone but I could hear meskerem telling us to switch leads the whole race. I wish I would've done something before poor Silvia was pushing us all so I lead the last lap. I got such a rush from being in 1st that I just started going faster. Not forgetting about my team I kept snapping my fingers so they knew I wanted them up with me. When I started to over lap ppl I got even more excited and went even faster. Until I reached my kick on the long stretch to the finish. With a time of 20:15.5 ( not a pr but as coach holt put it "Brianna Loya had her best race of the season and won with a decided fashion) not only did I get first in the jv race but if I ran varsity I would've been 11th and I was #6 on the team instead of my usual #10 spot. And the most important part is that, as a team jv girls got 1st and so did our varsity girls and our jv boys, our varsity boys won 2nd.
