2nd place
... I drew my stick, it had the two on it, and this was a good starting place. Stick number one was considered the best place to start. ... I had gotten kind of a slow start off the line, but I was determined to place. ... I was in the middle about 4th or 5th place. ... I was in second place on about the fifth lap. ... I was struggling to stay in 2nd place. ... As I came around the last corner toward the finish line I got a sudden burst of energy and finished in 2nd place. ... I was so proud to stand on the 2nd place podium. ... My 2nd place medal from Regionals means a lot to me because I worked so hard for it and my Dad got to watch me.
