Jump!

After returning the MCC Track Trophy to DeSmet on their on their final day of classes, the seniors had graduation practice today and then ran on their own.We got our shield! Way to go guys!
The sprinters had a short practice and then shaved Coach Williams head afterwards. Brian, Jacob, and I had 45, 60, and 75 minute runs respectively.

We at a big breakfast this morning so we decided to kill some time by sitting in on Coach’s freshmen World History class. Jacob and I got 3 out of 5 on and quiz and Brian was too afraid to take it. We helped answer some other questions and then Coach had a powerpoint on the Roman Empire. In case you didn’t know, their greatest legacy is their Law (that will be on the test!). It was Austin’s class and the freshmen enjoyed having us in there and we had a lot of fun learning with them.

For the run we decided to go west on Olive. This meant we got to go over the highway and get in a sweet super weave and some parkour. We eventually made it to Millennium Park, where we decided to turn around. But before we left Brian insisted on us running around the baseball field and going down a slide. On the way back, we realized that we were going to be early. So, we made a stop at the parking garage next to the building with the indoor track. There was nobody around and we all the way up to the top and looked out over the surrounding area.

On the way back down, we did imaginary baton passes on all the turns. We didn’t want to go back to the entrance of the parking garage because it was farther from Olive. That meant that we needed to “break out.” We hopped a wall, balanced on the ledge, jumped the bushes, and ran up the hill to Olive. This was no problem for Jacob and I, but Brian was a different story. He couldn’t quite get the escape thing figured out. It was hilarious when Brian was standing on the ledge looking around all confused about what to do while Jacob and I were yelling at him to jump.

It was a great day for the three seniors. We had an awesome run together and then meet back up that night for prom and had even more fun.
Quote of the Day: (see baseball field at Millennium Park) “Let’s go roll in the dirt. It’s baseball season.”- Scherping.

Joke of the Day: “Scherping, how about you take this question. The answer starts with T.”- Coach Traughber while we were sitting in on his class. It was a True or False question.
