Roasty Toasty

Cross-country teams run in all kinds of weather: hot and sunny at the season's start; cold and rainy as autumn settles in.

Isaac's school team concluded this year's season under extreme conditions. (One cross-country coach - with a 25-year career in the sport - said, "These are the worst conditions I can ever remember.")

During the October 30th sectional meet in Bagley, 4 inches (10 cm) of snow covered an icy course upon their arrival. Falling fluffy flakes created blinding conditions.

When it came time for the captains to issue awards at tonight's Cross Country Banquet, Isaac received the "Creativity Award" for coining quotes throughout the season.

"What was the phrase after Sections?" his co-captain asked leading into a sample. Isaac grinned, "Roasty Toasty!"

Words befitting those on the mend.
