Greetings from Boston

Sorry that only two sprinters showed for practice yesterday. Guess they'll be scoring all the points at the state meet since many of them feel that they don't need the practice. What a waist of time for Ms. Klimowski who came to supervise and work with any of the sprinters who may have wanted to work on their jump techniques. Can't wait to hear the excuses! My favorite part of coaching.

I'm fine, thank you very much. Yesterday a very long day. My flight landed at 6:05 AM, then shuttle to the hotel, check-in, and then out to the Reggie Lewis Center for an all day session of setting up the track; hanging banners, moving 187 boxes of backpacks up to the second floor where registration is taking place, then creating packets for registration pick-up that begins today at noon. First track event takes place at 2:30, which I don't know what it is, but the newest event is the 5000 meter run also taking place today. I'll report on that later, as well as any Jordan Hasey sightings.

Have fun at school on this Friday the 13th!
