24. "Good news on both fronts then" In response to In response to 23
I really want both of these kids to start thinking of themselves as runners now, because they can be that good at it. But I can't be certain that either will help my team that much this year. Still, I'd love to have a huge group of distance runners that features some solid (the freshman I'm hoping chooses track over basketball will probably run about a 2:10/4:40/10:30 this year) underclassmen who can turn in borderline elite (for my area at least) performances in a year or so.
But I want it for them. Truthfully, my job is easier if I have fewer kids. There are only so many slots in our late-season meet to go around, and I hate telling good runners we don't have an entry for them.
