This one I really wanted because most of the boys are leaving the school this year and they too wanted it, this is also an opportunity to put the school on the map.

Wayne and I are trying to keep an even keel and talk to our boys a lot, more than we normally do. This has been a real binding event. It kind of keeps your perspective.

It seemed like something that would be a win-win both for the high school boys and the elementary school.

In school, I like to hang out with my friends. We like to socialize and talk about what boys like to talk about in high school.

It's really sad. We're seeing a lot of young girls and boys coming in on it. In high school, it used to be alcohol and now its methamphetamine.

Of our 49 boys, 17 are freshmen, so we're still teaching some of the guys this isn't middle school anymore. Some of the freshmen are helping in relays and others are challenging in open events. Six or seven will make an immediate impact. We're talking about kids that maybe lost one meet in seventh and eighth grade, so they're good athletes.
