Boys 

It is a world of the individual against himself, it is his aspirations challenging the capacity of his body.  There is no enemy but the straining of every muscle.  It is not a sport, it is a life of work and precision and sometimes it is rewarded by a cheer or a press clipping.  But when the press clipping turns yellow, there will still be the memory of that time, perhaps only a moment, when the crowd faded to nothing and the only sound was breathing and the only feeling was the ache of endurance and pushing, pushing until the body soared with the mind, and no one else knew what it was to strive.

Eastern States Champs

@ NYC Armory  02/28/06

The boys team finished 3rd in the DMR as Craig anchored in 4:06.2.  (Different writers and coaches had him anywhere between 4:05.6 and 4:06.2.  We go to 4:06.2 because as the anchor runner, he gets the additional electronic timing added on which is about .24 secs.)  Craig also took the team from 17th place to 2nd before getting passed in the last 50 meters.  He ran almost the whole race in the 2nd lane due to passing so many runners that were ahead of him or being lapped.  All four cougar runners ran PBs.
