You end your career by giving it your all.
You end a track race by not being able to talk.
When you can't talk or walk when it's over and it's your last race it's extra special. It means you won.
I will try to put more details to this soon. More context and more details.
But I will never forget how hard Chrissy Pacewicz pushed herself in her final collegiate event. It was special to watch, especially the end of it. After she crossed the line she seemed to be full of emotion. She looked like she wanted to cry and then she fell into the arms of one of her teammates. She actually wasn't full of emotion. She was just in lots of pain. Then she just dropped of sheer exhaustion. It was artistic and poetic. I wish there was a camera right above her on the ground to capture that moment. The end and going out a winner. Going out knowing that she gave it her all and should have no regrets. This was one of those special moments that reminds you of why you enjoy working in college athletics.
It was one hell of a way to end a college career. A career of running herself to death. Pushing herself so her lungs burned. It was amazing to watch. It is my favorite athletic moment that I have watched at Elon.
