So, some context, I'm from the west side of TN, and we're super heavy on throws and sprints, but I'm pretty sure we're one of the worst distance regions in the country. So in my regional 3200m a few weeks back, I place third with an 11:06. (Don't roast me it was my first year) In our division, top two finishers go to state, and the 2 next best times across the state go as well. I was nowhere close to the wild card spots as the middle and east are vastly superior in distance. But the 2nd place finisher drops out bc he wanted to focus on the 1600 and 800. So I go to state. I'm seeded last by like 40 seconds, so expectations are low. I promptly go out and put up an 11:29, one of my worst races of the season. But since everyone scores at state, I earn one point. So I watch the rest of the day as our throwers and sprinters carry us to state glory, and we're state champs by the end of the day. All this to say, would it be arrogant to call myself a state champ, seen as I did almost nothing to help the team?
