Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

We'll finish this one with @LNLakers on Sunday as part of a DH in Castlewood.

Alec Bauer aka Alex Gauer homered early and @benck_kellan was dealing as we started with a 6-0 lead in the 3rd.

@Twins, @Timberwolves, and Wild win on the same day. Someone wake me up, no way is this real life.

[Chris Lather @clather16]

Amen

[Dustin Wright @CoachWright333]

Track & field is one of the last places in a school where the football captain, the valedictorian, the band kid, the wrestler, and the quiet kid who never thought he belonged can all wear the same jersey.

Track does not care what a kid’s last name is, how much money he has, what side of town he lives on, or how popular he is. Out here, none of that matters. Somewhere between the workouts, the bus rides, and the meets, kids who might never have spoken to each other start to build real respect.

It is hard not to respect somebody when you have seen what they are willing to push through and how much they are willing to give.

That is a big reason track & field will always mean more to me than just times, marks, and points.
