Races on Saturdays were a huge part of my high school season. For some reason, we would compete at many small relays and some big meets too. I recall the King City Invitational as being a big one in my era. I ran a 2-mile with about 40 runners in it. The winning time was just over 9 minutes and I ran my PB that day of 10:26.9, which put me in about 30th place.
Big races would get me psyched up, how about you?
