Confidence, babe. I know what it's like being nervous for competitions.
You've won many cross country meets! So you can do it for track, focus on the positive.
Breathe deeply before the race and only say good things to yourself. You can do it, this meet is yours.
Motivation. Do you have anything you really want (besides winning of course, or I guess you could use that)? Imagine it at the end of the race and just put in your all for it.
As so commonly said, 'imagine the audience in their underwear'. Try it, it'll be less intimidating. (:
Generally, don't think about the audience. Be motivated. Find something you want to work for and work super hard for it (that would be the race).
You're awesome, for sure. You can and you will. You will not TRY to win, you WILL win. Think this way. Kill 'em out there (not literally)! (:
