Track and Field By: Alyssa I was flooded by a crowd of people I couldn’t see anything, but bobbling heads As I was looking for some light in this dark area I heard a loud bang shot into the air Everyone began to scream I couldn’t decipher one word they said Words like… Smith, Jones, Will… Nothing made sense Just as I thought everyone was here was insane I suddenly spotted a bright stream of lights pointed at an arena I jerked my way through Pushing, being shoved, whatever it took, I was determined to get to the arena As I reached the end bars, sweat welled on my forehead And I realized The US track team was competing against Brazil’s team I was stunned by how intense it felt The lights blaring at you The energetic, enthusiastic fans cheering you on The smell of grass and sand filling the air And I realized, I was at the Olympic Stadium
