I expected it. We were in the Commonwealth District last year and I knew the teams here were competitive.

Actually, just saying it now, I just realized it's my last regular season race. I guess there wasn't anything going through my mind. I kind of look toward states and the Foot Locker race as being the sentimental ones.

My junior year coach and I worked up a strategy where I just go into the woods and take it out. I don't know why but I run better in the woods. I went into the woods and I knew I had to pick it up a little bit. I was hoping for a little more lead than I had.
