Some people stroll through life, while others race toward the finish line. Megan
Trivedi, a fourth grader in Ms. Del Carmen's class, pushes herself to work hard
at her new favorite sport, track. Megan
has been with the running club, The Equalizers, since August 2010. Since then she has grown to become a
well-rounded and successful student athlete.
Megan meets at Citrus Grove Park in Irvine four times a week to train
with her coaches and other runners ranging from 6-15 years of age. Megan is able to run an average of five miles
each practice! She says her favorite
part of running is that she pushes herself every day, and that every day she runs a little faster. Her longest run
was 8 miles straight without stopping!
Since beginning in August, Megan has already competed in
five competitions. Her
favorite one was when she received third place at the Junior Olympics Regional
Competition and won her first medal. On
Saturday, December 10, she traveled to Alabama to compete in the National
Junior Olympics! Megan says running
helps her feel healthy and proud. Megan is a great example of how hard work and
perseverance pay off. Her parents,
teachers, and friends are very proud of her.
