i know barnes made it clear it was his decision to take me to conference, but i feel i need to explain a little more, even if no one cares. i neither asked, nor expected to be going to conference. i operated pretty much from the second i finished the race on saturday like it was the last of my career. that is why i was so emotional, not because i did not make conference. i was disappointed by the fact, but it was just a huge rush of lots of emotions, including sadness that it was ending, and all the happiness about the way it ended. i was satisfied with my race, and the near decade of cross country i had ran. i don't show my emotions often, but i cannot explain here how much my two cross country teams have been my family, more so than my real family. its a lot to hit all at once, and i was very okay showing it. but coach lanese got a hold of me on monday and wanted to meet. she told me she was going to run me at conference. i had told gabe once this year that i would be completely satisfied as number 11 on the team, and also had told david that i would not go to conference, if i did not think i could run on the regionals team. and after talking with coach, i feel that is very real possibility. so since i have been offered the chance to run, even without asking to, i am going to take the opportunity and plan on using it. unfortunately that also meant taking the place of someone who was time wise in top 10 at oberlin, and i am very sorry that joe does not get to race. i know if it were me it'd be hard to accept, so i don't know if there is anything i can say to make it feel better. i also owe a great deal to coach barnes, and david and wyatt, because they've shown a lot of belief in me over the past few weeks. at least i get another chance to cry in front of people whenever my season ends again, haha.
