Lynbrook High Cross Country and Track

OK about the tagboard, be nice children! Don't abuse it or Gill's going to rip your head off... or rape you... or both.
Also, I'm collecting money so that we can get our own domain and more bandwidth and webspace. Any contributions would be appreciated. Follow the examples of Dave, Tamer, and myself (we each took 25 cents out of our own pockets). So go ask your parents for a little bit extra lunch money or go to your personal bank account or college funds or you can even hold a bake sale, whatever you need to do. With your help we can soon achieve our goal of 7 dollars. I think that if we really focus all of our efforts to this cause we will be able to raise the money. Thank you all. -B. Wong

This is going to be a long ass news update.

First off, I apologize for possibly downplaying what the girls did at the Conference Meet last week, but I wasn’t there and don’t know what went down.

That said… WE SLAYED THE FUCKING DRAGON!!! (sorry uh… earmuffs)
I was talking to a few of you the day of and the night before Conferences and I said I was really feeling it. I think as soon as the first event, we were all feeling it. Somehow we knew we were going to pull out a win. It came down to a bunch of “ifs” and “what ifs” and “maybe’s”. I mean look at that first 2 mile. If it weren’t for that one Wantag kid (and it’s so much more sweeter that it was Wantag) that got F’ed up, we would have lost by 2 points instead of winning by 2 (By the way Tamer and Jay were 1st and 2nd = All Conference). Nobody thought we could do it. I remember at the end of the XC season, Tamer said something like there’s no way in hell that we’re beating Westbury during the WT season. And a lot of us, including our coach, were thinking the same thing but just didn’t want to say it out loud. The fact is that well… they’re uh … bla… fast. Heh anyway it was the most exciting track event I’ve witnessed in my 4 years and after days like this I remember why I run.
Man, it was awesome. It was a classic David & Goliath match-up. The momentum kept on shifting b/w us and Westbury. They would completely and utterly destroy us in a sprinting event, and right after we would do the same to them in a distance event.
In the field events we were hurting until Corey won both HH and HJ.
I think the best 2 races that I watched were Fuss’s 600 and Dave’s mile. Fuss and Westbury were neck and neck down the final stretch and you can tell that they really had nothing left. When they both leaned across the line and collapsed on top of one another, everyone was wondering who won. Turns out that Fuss must’ve beaten him out with his spiky hair and actually came within .2 seconds of Drew Harrison, THE Drew Harrison.
Dave’s race had about the same “sick” factor. With 2 laps to go, Dave was a distant 3rd, Truitt and another kid neck and neck for 1st and 2nd. Then the other kid pulled away and Dave began to kick it just as all of the distance guys on the sidelines knew he would. The kid in front never saw it was coming, with ¾ lap to go I remember seeing him look over his shoulder. Still didn’t see it coming though. Dave pulled up next to him on the 2nd to last straight-away and the 2 were just about stride for stride for the last 80 meters. It was a photo finish, but without a photo. So nobody really knows who won, one official said Dave, another said the other kid. It should have been Dave.
The way it worked out, we were ahead by a slim margin going into the last 2 events, which happened to be sprinting events. So it was guaranteed that Westbury would take 1st in both relays and we needed to finish 2nd in both or else it'd be over for us (Oh the suspense!). Well our 4x400m relay is solid and got the 2nd place we needed. I hate giving props to freshman not named Jay but I must say, Manny showed us that he has a pair. When Martini was through wrecking the rest of the field, it was pretty much over. And obviously the 4x200m got the 2nd place we needed or else you wouldn’t be reading this. We were behind the first 2 legs and were one stride away from the zone from being DQ’ed during Gannon’s reception. By the time Anderson got the baton, it was all but over. At that moment, everyone went crazy because we knew that we were …
CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS.

Well we all had quite a bit of a scare. Martini slipped on a patch of ice and then flipped twice in the air and landed on concrete where his nose broke his fall. And then he got shot in the leg. No but seriously, it was sort of scary because he was hunched over and there was a growing pool of blood and nobody knew what was going on. Fortunately he made it out alive; he’s a survivor. Here are the after-effects: 1 2 3

Yesterday the girls ran their Conference race, I wasn’t there but I’ll leave you with a recap from Akinom (Parental Discretion Advised):

2/7: edited this out to keep this site semi-PG.

Slowly updating the members section... and the consensus is in and Ms. Chock has to go. We will miss you. So instead of pictures of hot girls, I'm going to put up a rather disturbing picture of guys doing odd things to other guys. Enjoy! (who said runners act gay?) -B.Wong

1.15
So... who ran today? I didn't. (I don't want to hear it Martini!)
Anyway, seriously... if you guys really want your member profiles updated, I sort of need the information that you want me to post about yourselves, unless you want me to guess your interests and what not. And believe me, I will if you like, that could be fun. So here's my proposal, if you're serious about wanting a member profile up and you're not just nagging me for the hell of it, then why don't you like go on the forum, and post your 411, and I'll update your profile. Girls, go take some pictures of yourselves and hand em over and we'll start from there. Surprisingly, Rich never got around to taking pictures of the girls; you'd think he would have been on top of the opportunity to do so ;) - B. Wong

1/9 was another Friday night meet, and another waste of a Friday night. Well... not entirely, because the team as a whole ran fairly well. Jay brought home the gold in the 1000m... I think(?). And, I honestly wasn't watching because it seemed like a lost cause after our team was more than half a lap back, but the 4x400m relay made an amazing comeback to take 1st in the 2nd heat thanks in part to Broome. He managed to bust out a 57 quarter and beat out Uniondale by like .0000001 seconds. I heard good things about the girls' meet too, but wasn't there to witness it for myself.
P.S : if anyone wants any other sections of this site updated, like the members section for example... go do it your damn self. Muahaha. - B. Wong

1.07
Right, so I guess I'll be updating for a little bit. If anyone wants to help, maybe (dare I say it) a member of the girls team (?)... anyway I don't plan to change anything around except for updates; although my grammar should be a little bit better.

So on 1/5 we had a "short" meet with lots of medal-winners and 2 new records. Congratulations to Lynbrook's new 4 X mile record holders: Truitt, Dave, Tamer, and Gamrat. Dave also sh-moked Jon and is the new 600m record holder. Check the results for more. but not yet because I haven't updated that... - B.Wong

Well it a new year and new ownership. I hope everyone had a wonderful new years. As off Janurary 5th, 2004 at 12:00AM EST time, Benson will take over updating the site.
