OHHHH BABY!!!!!

This post is for March 10th


3:10. A time usually accompanied by the yelling of “3 laps!” and the start of another track practice. However, with the arrival of warm weather the chance to turn the track and field team into a work force could not be missed. There were tarps to be carried, tires to be rolled, and for some work to be supervised (you all looked good). After the back breaking work was finished however, the great T-bone gathered his runners for an inspirational speech. The words were short but it was oh so sweet… a baby T-Bone is on the way!


Tempos at Runnymead, a DeSmet tradition, put up a fight today. With a nasty 400 meter start up-hill (both ways in the snow) the mile loop becomes a test of mental toughness. Several factors are key in having a great tempo workout but one can not be stressed enough… a WATCH. These excellent electronic sundials keep you informed, on time, and on pace. Newer runners should pick on up today!


Best Dressed: The one, the only, Jacob S. (the sailor) after getting a taste of best dressed victory the day before Jacob returned with an even more impressive showing. Sporting a matching singlet and race shorts Jacob flew around the track clocking a respectable mile time trail time and possibly more importantly looking good while doing so. Will Jacob sweep the first week?


Question of the Day: With the news of Baby T on the way many questions need to be asked. Who will be the god father? Who will be the babysitter? Who will the baby be named after? Now while the first two are obviously me (Boyle) the last one should be taken seriously. In the comment section below leave you suggestion for a baby name Boy or Girl. Please leave out your own name as it won’t happen but perhaps we can find some famous runners to name the baby after? Go nutz!

  3. I think the they should name the baby boy or girl after me:
    Coach Williams Traughber

    or go with the worst mispronounciations of Coach's name from the past 10 years at DeSmet and call him/her

    Mike Trashbag Traugher

  4. Well, today Coach decided that his baby will most likely be a "Cub loving, running hating, Frisbee playing" kid. Wow, that would be not good.
    I pledge to make sure that first thing doesn't happen. It would be just awful. But I would think that between T-bone and T-time the kido will have no problem figuring out who to root for.
