The cone shows the runners where to stay within. Senior Cora Walker reminded herself of her goals to keep her motivated. “It's amazing to get in a tiring run or workout and feel all the emotions of the day just melt away,” Walker said.

    Senior Nate Burns runs to take on first place in his lap. Burns knew that he could always go faster in a race. "There is always someone out there faster than me, so there is always someone to chase,” Burns said.

    Senior Nate Burns and junior Tyler Gercak show off their win. Burns had won a race before, but the Plainfield Relay was different because he won with his best friend. “Throughout the race we weren’t really in a good position, but we really caught up in the closing lap,” Burns said.
