Goings-on of Medford/Somerville

Way to be, Bellet. Bringing it back. A phrase that could easily develop into a season motto. We're talkin' DIII Regional Titles. After a several year drought, let's show the trophy its old home and...

...Bring It Back.



However, Nick (hi) would have my head if I start thinking about summer and cross country while I still have a blazing 1500 meter race to throw down in 3 days. As such, I thought I'd shoot you guys an update on thing back on the homefront.

OPENs:
Skip is a fucking monster. 68xx??? WTF??!?! Probably the best part of his decath was watching him walking around the high jump pit in a singlet, half tights, and sunglasses sporting a gorgeous umbrella to shield him from the 80 degree heat and sun. He swiftly ditched the umbrella, jogged to the edge of the track, and took a shit on 1.86m (6' 1.25") on his first attempt. Baller(ina)ness.
As for the distance guys, Billy ran a smooth 1:55 from his heat of the 800 to cap off a pretty absurd streak of running the 800 (consistently) every single weekend for just under 2 full months. In the 15bills, you've probably heard by now, but Jesse "I don't care how fast my heat is, they're gunna suck on deez nutz" Faller won the middle heat going away in a school record 3:51.08, a second shy of the auto qualifier. In the slow heat, I finally broke 4 with a not-so-smooth 3:59.93 going 61 and 2:06 for the first 400 and 800. Hooray being the last seed! In the 5000m, Cap'n Welch battled both a combination of heat and humidity and a slew of DIII upstarts from the region in a tactical seeded section race. By day's end, he failed to improve on his season best, but is ready to pop one (hopefully two) more good steeples. He ran a few 400s over hurdles and practiced playing in the sandbox today and looked really good. On a related topic, we think townies stole the rakes from B to practice long jump...

Yeah, that's what's been going on around here. Other than that, it's a lot of hanging out looking for food and jobs (of which I still don't have either) and salvaging goodies from the around the dorms. I found a motherfuckin' lap desk! Useless, I know.

You fuckers better be running.

Cliff, I'm shitting in your ceiling tiles.
