Week 6 exercises

Exercise 93, 94,98

It was finally the last week of practice before finals. The whole team was gearing up for a great meet on Saturday and Sam was growing more and more nervous. She had yet to be noticed by a college scout and her senior of sports was coming to a close. As the team lined up at the starting line for their last practice of the year Sam was anxious to have the practice over with. As she rounded the first corner she was out ahead and nearing the last corner towards the finish line. Just then, Sam stumbled over a pair of starting blocks that were left in her lane by a freshman. She fell hard to the cold ground and laid their with tears rolling down her saddened face. Her ankle was throbbing in pain and already beginning to swell. Her coach rushed over to see what had happened. His mind was growing worried due to the fact that the team desperately needed Sam for Saturdays meet and that hundreds of college scouts would be looking for her on the track. Once Sam got home after practice she layed down on the couch and iced her ankle for hours. Her mind was growing more and more worried about Saturdays meet. Would the sweeling on her ankle go down, would she even be able to walk, would she be able to even run and do her best? If she could not run on Saturdays meet she would have to kiss her dream of running at college and getting a scholarship to run on a track good bye. Would she even be able to afford college without a scholarship? All of these questions rushed through her anxious mind.
