2006 May Archive at The Doppler Effect

So Rob, Sneha, Miesque and I stopped by the St. Mary’s fair last night, and we were told we were too old to go on the Berry-Go-Round. It made me sad. On the other side of things, summer officially begins in 10 days. I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself…but i’ll worry about it then. Track states is comming up June 3rd and if I replicate my Counties performnce we should be in good shape to win it all. Before I go, i’d like to point out that I ran a 10.8 100M dash time in the semi-finals; 0.1 seconds off the school record, until Chris broke it with a 10.42. Thanks Chris. In the mean time, I hearby claim myself (unofficially) the fastest Asian in the state of Michigan. We’ll see how well that plays out at states. G’night everyone.

After losing by 4 points last year, the track squad regained the regional title with a convincing victory (beating the second place team, Lutheran North, by 36.07 points) and placing in every event except the 1600M. Clayton Beard broke the 30 year old high jump record with a jump of 6′5.5″. I qualified for states in all my events:

100M Dash 4th place 11.09 (state qualifying)
400M Dash 2nd place 51.56 (All-Region and state qualifying)
4×400 Relay 1st place 4:28.78 (Regional Champions and state qualifying)

Overall, we dominated the meet from beginning to end. Hopefully we’ll be able to do the same at Oakland Counties and States. Congratulations to all who participated yesterday.

For those of you who don’t know what Skype is, it’s basically like an internet phone. That actually works. It works alot like AIM but better and you can video confrence and speak wi up to 100 people simultaneously. Now they’ve released a promotion that lets you call land-lines and cell phones within the U.S. and Canada until the end of the year If you don’t have Skype yet, now would be a good time to get on that. I promise it’s easy to use and totally worth the two seconds it takes to install. My username is btan88. Have fun prank calling your own house.
