Track and Field Competition

I went to see a prefectural high school track and field competition a couple weeks ago.
My younger daughter 16-year-old Rina took part in 1,500m race of the competition. She could barely join the sixteen-member-finalists of the race. Then she ran through the goal line as 16th.

She has been a member of track and field club since she was a junior high student.
Yes, she keeps practicing long distance running over five years.
But, she couldn’t beat her own record that she got when she was 13 years old.

Like many women athletes, she seems to be struggling against becoming rich female body.

Your Rina has great determination despite it all she is still joining the track field team and competition. Dont give up on her plans to beat her own record, she will get to do that one day.
