Polar Opposites 15-50, the most lopsided score all year. As the last place team running against last year’s State Champions, we knew we were going to lose. The meet resembled David and Goliath except Goliath would most certainly win.

The bus ride to the Amherst meet was just like any other that season. We were listening to music, talking, and joking about

the book, “Opposite of Always”, there are plenty of themes to pick up on such as: forgiveness, protection, thinking you’re too late, and making mistakes. One theme I largely picked up on was coming of age. Growing up, we make lots of mistakes, and the transformation from teen to adult comes with loss.
