Breaking the String
by Jon Caswell
The large crowd was making a huge noise. With four events going on at the same time, there was always something to cheer about. Standing behind her starting blocks, Elaine didn't hear any of it. She gazed down the track looking intensely at something she could not see but knew was there. Even though she couldn't see the string stretching across the finish line, she imagined herself breaking it. Although there were three other events occurring at the same time as her qualifying heat in the 100-yard dash, she was totally focused on the finish line. She didn't care about the crowd because they weren't there for her, and she sure wasn't there for them. Elaine was there to win the gold medal at the state championship meet. She glanced left and right at her competitors, but it was only a glance before she returned her gaze to her lane and that finish line. It was as if none of the rest of it—the crowd, the other events, or her competitors—existed, and she were in a silent tunnel that contained her lane and that finish line.
