My Buckeye Buddy attended the Van track meet yesterday...I missed out 'cause I was painting my house...I know, get my priorities straight...he sent me a copy of his report on the meet & I wanted to share his comments:
The real surprise to me was Santos. That guy has so many athletic talents to be as big as he is. He got 3rd in the shot, 1st in the discus, anchored the 4X100 “Big Man” relay (I think the runners had to be over 200 lbs) but anyway, he finished 1st in that and if running the 4X100 relay wasn’t enough he finished 6th in the 800m and then turned around and finished 2nd in the 200m. I’ve never known anyone to be good at the shot and discus and then turn around and do well running 100m, 200m and 800m. I’ve never even know anyone to be good at both the 200m and 800m, but if he hadn’t used up his five events, I’m sure he would have been running in some more. He was starting to remind me of Bill Bradley from Palestine.
I want to acknowledge the accomplishments of a young man who is destined for greatness. Sic 'em...oh wait, that was the other bunch...
