Boys/Girls 

* A Central Division meets

Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints.  I like to make something beautiful when I run.  I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.'  It's more than just a race, it's style.  It's doing something better than anyone else.  Pre
