IN THEIR WORDS
Rylee Panquerne (Xtreme Speed Track Club)
Going All American was a once in a lifetime dream come true. Our team has worked hard towards making our sprinters the best they can be and that work has payed off. Sacramento was a wonderful experience and I’m glad I competed at such a cool stadium with so many athletes.

Beating My Own Race

After qualifying for the Junior Olympic Nationals in Sacramento, California, I knew I was facing a challenge. Factors such as the competition, heat, numerous days competing back-to-back, and, of course, how I handled these factors, were all going to play a role in how I did. From regionals (13) I had qualified in the 4x100, 4x400, and the 400m hurdles. Before the races at Hornet Stadium had begun, my 4x100 relay was ranked 10th, 4x400 was ranked 7th, and I was ranked 4th in the 400m hurdles. I was just happy to have made it to Nationals, however, my ultimate goal was to be an All-American in at least one of my events.

It was 6:00am on Wednesday morning; 400m hurdle race day at 9:00am. I really wanted to try and keep myself composed this whole trip because of my known race anxiety. However, my mind and body had different plans that day. The previous night I was barely able to sleep. My heart was racing and I struggled to shut-off my brain from thinking about the race that awaited me the next morning. I tried to stay positive while getting reading in the morning. I looked down at my hands shaking uncontrollably and attempted to laugh it off by showing it to my roommate Madison. I put a lot of pressure on myself, feeling that I needed to live up to everyone’s expectation that I would be near the top after prelims due to my position going into the race.

Entering the warm-up area, I was completely expecting to lose the small amount of composure I had maintained thus far, but what happened next was just the opposite. To my own surprise (and relief) I felt calm and in control of my emotions throughout warmups, the nerves and anxiety from earlier this morning had slipped away and my mind was quiet and focused. Before I knew it, I was on the track setting up my blocks in lane 2. While I wasn't completely thrilled about my lane placement, I focused on what I could control. I needed to beat at least one person to the first hurdle and try to finish strong on the last 100m. My race went very well, I alternated when I needed to, didn't stutter or stumble as much as I thought I might, PRed and even won my heat. I was moving on to Finals.

Thursday was 4x100 prelims, and I was ready. When it comes to relays I'm not as stressed as in individual events because I have other people to experience the race with and the ability to work together helps to relieve some of the pressure. The only thing I was worried about was our hand-offs but after warming up and practicing, I felt like we were prepared and had a chance of making it to finals. I sat in the hipping tent repeating to myself, "23, 23, 23, 23.” We just need to do our thing". When I stepped out on the track, I was ready. I set my mark at 23 steps and waited for the gun. The baton travelled from Alaynah to Danielle to Rylee then to me, I was out and sprinting -ready to finish strong. We ended the race with a new PR and were heading to finals in 8th after a team had gotten disqualified.

Friday came around and it was time for the 4x400, I was excited for this relay because of our previous success in regionals and I believed in the people on my team. Standing under the tent watching my team start off the relay, I was worried for when I had to run. In a 4x400 it seems like anything can happen, some people may be able to finish strong when you least expect it, or could just be a crazy amazing runner. We were barely in 4th place when Jojo handed me the baton to finish the race. I knew I needed to pass the 3rd place runner and not let anyone pass me. Before long I was already on the last 100m of the race. My team and I were able to finish 3rd in our heat. It wasn’t until I got into the cooling tent after the race that I noticed the near-100 degree heat.

The weekend brought finals for the 4x100 on Saturday and the 400m hurdles on Sunday. Knowing that all we needed to do was finish and we would be All-American was the validation I needed to keep myself calm. Of course I still wanted to know that I tried my hardest, but I needed to tell myself that these races were nothing to stress about. Like in prelims, the main thing that worried me about our relay was the handoffs because I knew that was the only thing that could get us disqualified. The 4x100 had the most precise hand-offs and after our previous race, we knew our main focus needed to be making them as smooth and quick as possible. The process of warm-ups, the checking tent, and hipping tent was the same as prelims. But this time, being on the track just felt different- knowing that we were racing against the fastest 15-16 4x100s in the nation. We finished finals in 8th and although didn't PR from our time in prelims, we were All-Americans.

After waiting in the awards tent for about 45 minutes, they were finally calling 15-16 girls 4x100s. We stepped up to the podium and heard the rest of our team cheering us on as an official gave us our patches, hats, and medals. After plenty of pictures on the podium, we went outside and took so many photos with team members, coaches, and parents that our cheeks hurt, but it was all worth it.

Sunday rolled around and the weather report showed it was going to be the hottest day yet; a high of 106 degrees and a race time of 12:30pm. Saturday night was the calm before the storm. I was feeling more relaxed and put together than I had the night before prelims, although I still had a hard time sleeping. Sunday morning brought on something worse than I had ever experienced before a race. I woke up that morning with an upset stomach and racing heart. This was different than the 4x100 because I was on my own this time. I had no teammates to experience the pre-race jitters with and I felt the expectation of being ranked 4th weighing down on me. Anytime someone asked how I was I responded with, "I'm fine" or "I think I'm ready", but in reality I was on the verge of tears. I texted my mom about my nerves before we left in the vans, and she responded with, "You've done the work to get to the finals...It's just like any other race now". That was what I needed to hear, to be reminded that all I needed to do was race like I had before and not think about what this race would lead to, but to instead just have fun and try my hardest. This was my last race, my last opportunity to race at Hornet stadium in the Junior Olympic nationals; all I could do was relax and make the most of the experience.

I crossed the finish line in 4th place with a new PR faster than prelims. I felt relieved that the race was over. As I wobbled over the cooling tent, tears filled my eyes from all the emotions of the week. A volunteer squeezed ice cold sponges on me in an attempt to cool me off, but the stark temperature change took my breath away and I started to hyperventilate. My legs were on fire, my muscles were sore and tight, the long week of racing was starting to catch up with me. After recovering, I made my way to the awards tent where I would get my second All-American of the meet and become the first athlete in Xtreme Speed history to get two All-American honors in one Nationals trip.

More than anything, as I reflect on this trip to Nationals I am thankful to have competed with, and been surrounded by such amazing, hardworking athletes. I’m so proud my teammates and how hard they worked throughout the season to make it to Nationals. The success that each of them had in their races was remarkable. I'm also forever grateful for the support and knowledge my coaches, family, and friends gave to me throughout this journey. This experience taught me many important lessons, it taught me things about myself as a person and as an athlete, it taught me to cherish every moment, to always try your hardest and to have faith that everything will work out in the end. Competing at nationals was an amazing experience that brought great memories I will cherish forever.

As an athlete something that always stays in my head as I'm running is "Make every step faster than before because every step is one second closer to being an All American".
