The Arkansas razorback indoor track team won their 19th indoor SEC track meet Saturday. The razorbacks were going into the meet ranked no. 1, but weren't expected to win. The razorback were underestimated, and highly doubted by the other teams. The only reason they seemed to be number one is because they teams they had faced had bad meets and the razorbacks had gotten lucky. They proved people wrong and triple jumper, Tarik Batchelor, won his event he wasn't even picked to place in. He won with a jump of 53 feet.
I too, have been put in the same situation. When I was in 8th grade on the 9th grade track team to be exact. People had us to do awful based on our previous track meet in Heber Springs. And I, being younger than the rest of the jumpers, was picked to not even place like Tarik. I jumped a 36 and won the event. We also won the meet. Just like the Razorbacks.

Dieting For Their Men
Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated fashion with the combination of physical exercise to decrease, or maintain, body weight. While dieting is often seen as a positive goal, it can also lead to a negative mindset.
The two sisters, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, hit the gym hard as they push themselves for all the wrong reasons. They have endured brutal exercise and a strict diet not to feel better, but to look better for their boyfriends, Kanye West and Scott Disick. The two "sweat it out" as their personal trainer tells them, "it matters how you look, not how you feel." The shocking words seem harsh, but the women seem to have "taken them to heart." Most women can relate to wanting to look good for their guys, but the sisters are taking it too far.
Not only is their exercising routine ridiculous, but their strict eating diet is beyond mind-blowing. Everything they order has to be checked to see if it is "all-natural." Kourtney was even seen "agonizing over the menu" and then only eating "one kernel of corn" as her meal. It turns out, Kanye and Scott do not exactly "appreciate the ladies healthy and widely admired curves." Kim and Kourtney just need to stop focusing on looking good for others.
Being fit is not about a number on a scale, and that is what Kim is beginning to realize. She admits that "[her] goal is to care more about how [she] feels than how [she] looks." Which is a good mindset both girls should have.
