the idea that everyone should try as hard as they can in every dual meet race is ridiculous. i wasn't even very good in hs and still regularly had meets that were either very explicitly being treated as workouts or where we were just going through the motions of the meet because we had to and were not truly competing
This post just made all the time I've spent reading this ridiculous thread worthwhile.

You no doubt noticed the sentence
"Tell me where the coaches stand on the race plan is posted." and mistakenly thought I made the word "coaches" plural when I meant to make it possessive. Don't feel bad. It was an easy mistake to make. It was actually an artistic choice, not a mistake. I've conveyed two meanings in one sentence as an homage to the Japanese poet Matsuo Basho. If I had separated the two sentences to facilitate your understanding of the duel meaning, it would have read like this. "Tell me where the coaches stand on the race plan!" and "Tell me where the coach's stand on the race plan is posted!"
It's tricky, I know. But that's just the nature of higher forms of art.
yo what happened to this dude
not exactly hard information to find.
Marcus Dickson barely got better in college if you can even call it that.
