Senior Moment - Ted

Ted is another person who seems to have been around for a long time. I can remember Ted when he used to come and watch his brother Leif race.

Ted was a Captain for both XC and track. I always liked to bounce ideas off of him to get his perspective. I really appreciated how he would often help without being asked. In my mind this is one of the attributes of a true leader.

On the track he was a true leader as well running an 11th fastest 800 meter time in school history and running very strong legs in the 4x4. It was also fun to watch him try different events like the 400 and 200 and do very well.

I was wondering at the beginning of the season how he was going to do - he had so much going on. He was involved with intensive fire fighting classes which kept him very busy. In the end, he was able to keep his focus and achieved both goals.

Ted will be missed by all of us. Who knows, the next time you see Ted might be when he is carrying you out of a burning building. Ted, I promise I will lose about 20 more pounds.
