6 - Middle School - 8th (Track)

Yep. THE Michael Johnson

The above pic is me with Michael Johnson. I trained and did sports injury rehab at his McKinney, Texas MJP facility for years. It was there, in fact, that I recovered after my knee injury, leading to my comeback.

My Comeback

I won't lie, there were lots of questions about how I would do in track in the 8th grade. Remember that I only ended up taking 2nd @district in the 7th with a hamstring pull. And now, after a major injury, many really questioned if I could win.

I think I had something to prove. To my coaches. To my doubters. To myself.

Track

I actually felt good. Better than I expected.

1st Place @District in 100m + New District Record!

I  set a new district meet record of 11.16 (listen to the end of the video, where I edited in the actual announcer!)
