A Run Down Memory Lane

The bender 40 the run formally known as outer 40, a run where countless memories have been made and with this run offers us a chance to honor our fallen runners. We start with Kevin L. the man that made the bender 40 surge what it is today. Perhaps one of the most influential runners in the art of using the downhill lawder mastered the art of catch up using each down hill to his advantage in order to group up with the rest of the pack. Secondly, Eoghan M. the current ruggerfest star can still be seen today sporting some wicked cool shorts on the far side of the throwing field preparing himself for a 2nd run at the state rugby championship. This flying Belgium will knock you off your feet like the scent of an Irish spring. And last but not least the man, the myth, the ledged… Blake B. Blake was the pioneer in discovering the magic that was the “outer” 40 having seen the good that follows these runs Blake was quick to suggest it for any run. For Blake and the rest of our fallen runners we remember them during this “Bender 40” run. R.I.P. (Run In Peace)


A track season never starts until the classic power point presentation conducted by T-Bone. With all of us now informed about proper hydration, rest, and commitment required to be our best the season is officially on its way. Remember to get your watch by MONDAY!


Word of the Day: “Diet-gatorade-fiesta-sprite”
Showdown on the Track: Alex P. vs. Brian S. the battle that will be the 800 meter time trail might very well come down between these two gentlemen. Who will emerge victorious? Tomorrow we find out.
