I have to brag on one of my athletes, Armando or 'Mando as all the guys call him. 'Mando has been on a tear this past winter, running pr's in almost every race and time trial we have ran. Now, 'Mando is not the fastest guy on our team, but you will be hard pressed to find a harder working kid in the world. I love this kid. Each day he comes out, rain or shine, and gives everything he has with this "I'm having a great time" attitude. Always quick with a smile and laugh, he truly enjoys his running life.
This last Friday night, 'Mando ran over a 2 minute pr in the 2 mile with a time of 11:32. When he was a freshman he could not even break 18 minutes for 2 miles, and now as a junior he is looking to break 11 this year and possibly under 5 for the mile. This kid truly knows what it means to reap what you sow, because this is all the result of his dedication and hard work. 'Mando, you are an inspiration to all who take up this sport and I am nothing but proud and honored to be your coach. Keep it up man, keep it up.
