PI Boys XC Athletes of the Year

Ed Thorpe sent me yet another splendid article about running. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/preps/343260%20boysxc12.html this will get you to the PI search engine, then type in Jonathan Lafler MVP

Ponder these common threads throughout the article:

1. Many of the honored athletes mentioned an appreciation of their teams for supporting and pushing them.

2. Several of them suffered set backs

3. Even though they faced set backs they didn't give up or quit.

4. No I'm not taking eighty guys to Hawaii. If I'm going to sit on a plane for five hours, I'm going to stay ten days or more. Besides we need new sweats more than we need another trip.

Final thought: Let's be a team and support one another and let us never give up.
