Monroe couldn't wait for the big track meet. He had been training hard all season, and today was his chance to show off his speed on the track. As he arrived at the stadium, he saw his friends Asher, Lisa, and Riley, who were also competing in the race.
"Are you ready to win this thing?" Asher asked with a grin. Monroe nodded, feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins.
The starting gun fired, and the runners took off. Monroe kept a steady pace, focusing on his form and breathing. As they rounded the first turn, he noticed that Lisa was pulling ahead of the pack.
"Come on, Monroe! You can do it!" cheered Riley from the sidelines.
