I was just driving by the high school and noticed runners, flags, tents, screaming....Home CC meet! I'd arrived just in time for the guys race. Tracked down Timo (Coach Sheard), said hey, then stationed myself for primetime. Twas a slaughterfest. Our #1 runner, Parker, who recently broke Tim's 2 mile high school record (in 9:09) came through the first mile of the 5k in 4:41; most of the guys ran together and the #7 runner was through in 5:05. Now in my time our team was damn good, but this team would manhandle many intercollegiate teams. The neon polyester Tees and striped jerseys, a stark contrast to what we wore, were pretty fucking intimidating. They finished in places 3,5,7,10,11,12, and 13 - our #7 guy was ahead of most team's #1, and ahead of all team's #2 save one. Nuts!
