But Scripps Ranch star takes second at Arcadia Invitational
Great athletes will tell you when they really want to do well, they need that added boost of going head-to-head with the best.
“That’s OK,” was how McCormick reacted when asked about the loss to Harmon, who ran 13.78 as both of them ran into a 1.3-meter per second wind. “When I go to the starting line, I don’t think about the others or even what I want to do. I try to be peaceful. Getting the record is amazing, I’m blessed. I’m fortunate to have two others runner in the section to push me so I’m confident about state.”
San Diego High’s Charlize James was again right on McCormick’s heels, running 14.16 for third, which is a bit of a disappointment as she was hoping the competition would pull her under 14 for the first time. She ran 14.00 at Mt. Carmel.
