Re: 2022 Verbal: Hudson Artz
Kelly fucking Artz. That guy...
So, my junior year of track in high school was one that I was very competitive in the 100M and 200M. That year, the guy in our region that was faster than me, along with another pretty fast kid, graduated and the guys behind me were a ways back. The field was totally open for me to dominate my senior year.
So I thought...
For our first meet (not a regional one, but we went out west), I got beat badly in the 100 by Cal Carlson from Watford. That dude had wheels. Then the following day, we were in a meet at Minot State's complex and this tiny dude from Westhope beats me by about 3/4". I didn't know who the fuck he was at the time. It was his freshman year. He and I traded turns all season with red and blue ribbons.
So much for dominating...
He ended up getting much faster as he got older.
Insert something clever here...
