Eighth grader Ronnie Evaristo says that one of his biggest goals this year is to try to beat fellow eighth grader Anthony Prak in a 100-meter dash. “It’s important to me because I want to do track and field in high school, and competing against the fastest kid in our school would help me prepare,” he says. Ronnie explains that racing against Anthony would be a real challenge and show him how much he needs to improve. “If I ever beat him, I’ll remember that accomplishment for life!” he explains with anticipation. Ronnie adds that he does not just want to race Anthony, but also learn from him. “I can ask Anthony for a few pointers and tips to run faster. Once I complete this goal, I’ll feel fast and successful.” For Ronnie, this challenge is about pushing himself, learning from someone he looks up to, and building confidence for track and field in the future.
