Nick Symmonds Qualifies for Beijing
Filed Under News, Quote, Running, Spotlight Runner
Nick Symmonds shot past competition to take first in the 2008 Olympic Track & Field Trials at Eugene,
Oregon. Symmonds ran the 800 in a time of 1:44.10, the second fastest 800 time ever run in the United States.
“It’s one thing to say that I have the potential to do it. It’s another thing to do it on the night everyone else is trying to.”
-Nick Symmonds
Something I admire about Nick is that he knows you cannot truly win unless you have to compete. I have known many runners who win races but do not run their hardest. They don’t set personal bests, they don’t feel tired after the race, but they get first place and are satisfied.
Run your hardest every race, don’t settle for what you know you can do. Remain curious.

This is my blog where I write about running, training, races, and anything else running related. Because I run for Mountain View High School I may write about my team and opposing teams in the Treasure Valley. Everything written in this blog is my personal opinion and does not reflect the views of my coaches, my teammates, or my school.
