Competitive track and field events have been around since B.C. and are a natural form of human expression. From needing to get from Point A to Point B to seeing who can get there fastest, running takes on so many facets. The above photo was taken a few weeks ago at a high school event held at Elon University. Elon is located about 20 miles east of Greensboro; however, they have a law school in downtown Greensboro. The track event at Elon's main campus featured high school teams throughout the state. The above photo features young men running the four by four relay race. How exciting is that point when the baton transfers from person to person. If you look closely in lane 3, you will notice the Grimsley High School Whirles hard at work.
Happy Saturday, dear readers, and we hope that you do what you can to support high school athletics. Sports keeps students happy, healthy, and focused. The determination in the faces of the young men in the above photo is nothing short of inspiring. How about a round of applause for all the teams.... everywhere. If you really want read a local inspirational running story, read this story about the GO FAR organization and Blair Ramsey here. Oh, and, let's cheer for the home team... go Whirlies!
Kudos to you for highlighting high school athletics! How about a photo of a group of females; they need the attention, too.
