One late afternoon, after swimming in a lake, he began to jog around to ease his chill. Soon enough he found himself running for the sheer exhilaration of it, across the moor and toward the coast. The sky filled with crimson clouds, and as he ran a light rain started to fall. With the sun warming his back, a rainbow appeared in front of him, and he seemed to run toward it. Along the coast the rhythm of the water breaking against the rocks eased him, and he circled back to where he had begun. Cool, wet air filled his lungs. Running into the sun now, he had trouble seeing the ground underneath his feet, but still he rushed forward, alive with the movement. Finally spent as the sun disappeared from the horizon, he tumbled down a light hill and rested on his back, his feet bleeding, but feeling rejuvenated. He needed to reconnect to the joy of running, to get away from the tyranny of the track

<br /><p>The boys race was exciting for team scoring. Ephriam Weisz took the lead from the start, but was tracked by 2 Timberlake runners for the first mile in 2nd and 3rd. Cole Dillon cracked into their scoring duo and jumped to second 1/2 way through the race which is how it would finish. Kieran Wilder ran a very smart, tactical race to come in 5th overall, just ahead of Timberlake\'s third scorer. After that the next 6 runners in were Sandpoint. The final places for the top 7 SHS runners were Ephriam Weisz in 1st with a 15:58, Cole Dillon in 2nd in 16:10, Kieran Wilder in 5th with a 16:51, Garrett Peirce in 7th with 16:55, Jett Lucas in 8th with a 17:07, Tyler McNamee in 9th with a 17:15, and Peik Lund-Andersen in 10th with a 17:16. The boys won the meet by a score of 23 to 36. The boys are showing incredible depth, and are working on their mid-pack strength. "Iron Sharpens Iron".
