Morgan - Indoor Track

So you all know Morgan is a fighter and is determined not to let POTS make her stop running even though her body is so tired, nauseated, and her heart races all the time. Last week in practice her heart rate was 240 beats per minute normal range would be around 150 beats per minute after a hard workout. The doctor said she will pass out on the track before she has a heart attack. She can't run distance at all because she is too tired but she is working on short distances.
Saturday, we went to her first race of the indoor track season which was at BYU. She signed up to run the 400m and 200m. There were 10 heats of the 400m and 12 heats for the 200m. She was in the last heat of each race. I was so scared for her I was shaking wondering if she could get around the track without collasping. She made it around barely you could see her strength was gone. She placed fifth in the 400m and fourth in the 200m. The girls who beat her were all girls she had beat last year in track. We were thrilled with how she did, but it is hard to know where she has been.

Below are two of Morgan's teammates.
