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.
