Dream Come True: Running on the Blue
Adam is one of the most diehard BSU football fans I know. Seriously, the kid can accurately quote scores from games that happened three years ago, and he pretty much knows the entire roster by heart. We do not hold Bronco season tickets, but Mike usually manages to take the boys to a game every season or so. Imagine Adam's thrill when he learned that he would be running the Boise Relays at BSU!! Truthfully, while he was excited to run in the 4 x 800-meter relay, he was most excited about warming up on the blue turf.
Friday was a day that I wished I had a super telephoto lens. I love my camera (and its reasonably impressive zoom), but Friday was a day I wanted one of those megalenses that the newspaper photographers have. That way I could have captured the look of sheer joy on his face as he was sprinting down the middle of the blue field, getting warmed up for his race. This was the best I could do at capturing the blue:
I'm not sure if Adam has even thought of a "bucket list" yet, but it's pretty cool when you can cross something off of it when you're fourteen years old. Boise State is planning on moving its track to another facility within the next year or two, so this may have been his last shot at running there. Pretty cool day!
P.S. His team finished 6th out of 10, not bad for a team with two freshmen, a sophomore, and a senior.

| Here he is waiting to get on the track to receive the baton. He ran the third leg. |

| Coming down the homestretch on lap #2. . . almost there! |
