Half a lap

high school track sprint in black and white
1977. Can’t tell if this is the 440 or the 220 finish tape. The background bleachers indicate this is the 220.

Was a good 100 yard sprinter in High School. Then senior year, Tim Hawkins took my spot as our team’s fastest 100-yard dash sprinter.

It was healthy to have my “bubble burst”.

i was a very good 220 yard sprinter. Was never beaten by a teammate. Ever. A few rival schools had faster 220 sprinters.

Humbly (hopefully), i was an excellent 440 sprinter.

Note: Sophomore year a rival team put their soon-to-be 100-yard Pennsylvania High School 1975 State Champion against me. It was my only loss in three years of York County competition, including being three-time County Champion. Scott Fitskee was second in the 220 and Long Jump at States. 1975 results here.

You only get a few of these in your life

You only get a few of these in your life.

Attending last night’s Homecoming Game

Attending last night’s Homecoming game may seem inconsequential in real time, however, looking back, you’ll realize that you only get four opportunities to attend a High School Football homecoming game.

Much of life is like this.

Much of it is not.

Best to be mindful of which is which.
