It's a basketball crazy town, where the sports page (and often the front page) gives us a nearly constant barrage of hoops mania. So I was delighted to open the paper this morning and see a big picture and fairly lengthy article on the front page of the sports section devoted to a walk-on UK middle-distance runner.

You can say "meh" if you want, and I Grant you he's not the cream of college T&F, but he's a pretty neat kid, and it's always nice for our sport to get some positive press, especially around here (you should see how pathetic UK's outdoor track is).
I wish him only the best in life.
