Today was the Cougar relays at Kerns highschool.  I woke up at like 7 and that is when we were suppost to be at the High school.  So I had my mom drive me up to kerns, when we got there it was pritty cold so me galen zach and Josh went inside. they have a pritty cool school they had a hall of fame and a palm tree in there.  Than we went outside and went to their baseball stadium.  Their baseball stadium is like a college stadium it has bleechers with a roof over top and a super nice feild. Than we went on a warm up down the street and back. We were going to have Lill' Warner be part of our 4xmile and our DMR team.  But he didnt show up so Josh subsituded in for him, we had a pritty good 4xmile they had everyone go all at once witch is weird, when we started I got a good start than my foot got knicked on my foot than I tripped, so we had to restart, Josh said that the dude that tripped me almost stepped on my head.  Zach got 3rd place and Galen got 4th place, I was a few people behind them, i ended up getting a 4:49 which is pritty good considering I tripped and it was super windy.  Than Josh was a few people behind me.  We ended up getting second and Olympus got first and we both broke the meet record.  After that we did the DMR we had Jamison JR in our team because coach made him do the SMR so he wasnt in our 4xmile team.  We had a pritty good start Zach got a pritty good lead for us, than Galen did good on his 400m and got us even a bigger lead.  Than it was my turn I ran the 800m for us my leg was kinda hurting me because of my fall. Since there was a good lead already I knew that I was going to have to run by myself.  The first lap I was going at a good pace than on the second lap I tried to go faster at the end but it was super windy so It was pritty hard I finished at a okay time I got like 2:13 and opend up even a bigger lead for Jamison.  Jamison was pritty tired because he just ran a good 800, Jamison was doing okay but nobody was shouting out his times so it was hard for him, the dude in second was catching up to him but jamison held him off.  We ended up winning and we were super close to the meet record.  After the meet I ran down to the junction in the middle of alpine with my little brother than a little more.
