In 5th grade, the students are able to run in a relay at the Drake Relays if he or she is one of the top 6 fastest. When it came time to run in PE class to see if he qualifies, Andrew was very nervous. He didn't even sleep well b/c of his nerves. Well, he qualified and ended up being the fastest runner out of all of the 5th graders at his school. Which is about 90+ students. On Friday, April 27th his school team went to Drake Stadium to run. A bunch of other metro schools were there to compete against too.
The weather wasn't the best. It was cold, damp and lightning ended up postponing the race for 30 minutes. Once it was safe to run, the kids worked their way to the field. The relay lasted about 2 minutes and then it was done. Andrew received a t-shirt and a Drake Relay baton for a souvenir.
