The Comments
Mr. Wilson says Those were the days October 27, 2008 at 7:09am
I fondly recall my days on the Lincoln Southeast cross country team. I was on the state championship team my sophomore year (1994), though I can’t say I directly contributed a whole lot to the victory. Our team had 5 really fast guys who carried the team. Then there were 3 other guys and me who battled throughout the season for the 6th and 7th spots on varsity. I was lucky enough to have some good races at the end of the season, so I got to run at state.
Speaking of LSE XC, my former coach, Ted Larson, hung up the towel this year. Congratulations on an extremely successful career, Ted!
