right place right time
i have a weird knack for being in the right place at the right time at track meets that is. i wish i was a better writer so i could tell the stories better.
but hey, the state cif officials said i am not a media outlet and that i lack orginal content so i should live up to their 1 minute appraisal of the value of my blog.
anyways, it is late and i need to hit the sheets but i wanted to write down a brief summary of what i mean by ”right place right time”.
on friday, i park at the state meet and who gets out of the car next to me? german and his coach! i walk behind them all the way into the meet. i took some photos and even talked to his coach. his coach was asking aloud about who advance in the 1600 and i chimed in what i thought was correct.
i thought it was amusing that he evened wanted to know being that german was a lock. (btw his 4 flat in the 1600 was amaing.) plus his coach asked about bakersfield’s interest and reaction to german’s running. i guess the t-shirt my athletes gave him says it all.
other cool things that happen was i sat in the stands next alex kosinski’s coaches and heard some interesting info about her great season last year.
on saturday, i walk in just in time to find a spot to watch the shot right next to ragan’s coach. it was wonderful to see this great kid win!
then during the 3200, i stand at the homestretch turn and schwartz’s family and coaches end up watching the race right next to me. so glad chris broke nine and got second. so nice to see his mom and coaches watch him do so well. another great kid too!
then i walk over to find my team and get a ringside seat to the jordan post race interview (another great race!) and took the photo of german wearing my athlete’s tshirt.
lastly, as i am walking out, i see the ridgeview coach and his amazing freshman triple jumper enjoying the win of a lifetime!
this is just a few amazing things that i stumbled into. i hope to write more about these RpRt moments later on and others but i got to get some sleep.
oh and photos and videos are being loaded asap,  so ceck back later and please support my sponsers too!Â
