I just got fucking shafted

So my cross country team won our sectional meet last week, we owned, and 3-peated.  From there  the top eight runners advance to the state championship meet.

(Last year I was my teams 8th man, but I had a pretty big conflict on the day of states so another went in my place)

So this year I'm a senior and captain of the team.  I'm the 5th -6th runner on the team all season, then have a bad race at sectioanls and come in 8th overall.  No biggy cause I'd still be going to states this weekend and probably running.

So we leave tomorrow for states and everyones real pumped up.  Today after practice my coach mentions to me "so the section isn't having alternates go to states this year.."  First of all  I was kind of insulted thata I would be the alternate but thats besides the point. 

What does piss me off is 2 things:

-That she would have me be the one not to go even after Iran well all season, I gave up my spot at states lsat year, I'm a  captain and I'm a senior

-That she would just mention to me that I wasn't going the day before we leave.  After all of my friends, family, and teachers all know that I'm running, after my bag is packed and I've been excited for a week about going to the state championship meet.  Also that she'd do that after I began planning our season with her in mid-july, then gave up so much time planning trips for us, getting us registered in invys, buying us warmups, hosting team dinners, and even tutoring certain kids on the team.  It feels like I did sooo much for her, and she just shit on me.

*Sorry for the rant, I'm just so pissed nd need to get it off me*

 
what a bitch. thats how life goes sometimes tho. i ran cc too, and ski nordic for college. and you never get as much out of racing as you put in. once its done, all you have is the memories, no matter how far you make it, or how hard you try.
 
thats pretty weak i dunno about you but if i were in your situation, being a senior getting shafted i would have no problem flipping out at her, i do it all the time to my bio teacher and im a sophmore
 
drugs are always an option

just playin

but i've had this happened to me and I just say fuck it and honestly sports are so politcal its crazy thats why all i do know is ski because its not bullshit,
 
Dude that is fucking low on her part. I feel bummed out just by what you wrote, I can't imagine what you are feeling. Smack dat ho for me.
