Yes, I have to tie my right shoe first, then the left, touch the logo on both shoes, then say a prayer. It seems to help me calm down. Which teammate is most likely to be a head coach one day? Jeff Fearday or Jon Bannister The best things about SIUE track and field are: You actually get to know your competitors and it is a head to head compitition. So if you are beaten by your oponent, it is just becasue they had a better day than you did, or they are just better. There is no room for any type of excuse at all. The feeling you get when you are winning the race and everyone is yelling is a great feeling too. The bonding that goes on with your team in one year is amazing and it seems like one big family. |
