I am reposting part of a memo I wrote earlier. I'm thinking maybe many of
you skipped over it due to it being part of a combination of things. Maybe
somebody out there has some idea as to how this occurred?
"Mickey Grimes might be the luckiest sprinter ever to run for the US.
Here he is leading off the 4 x 100 final after finishing 6th in the SEMI'S
at nationals with a windy 10.25. This has to be the slowest sprinter the US
has put on a relay in eons. Just think of all the sprinters who have made
the finals during the trials and never got to run the relay. How many
injuries had to occur before he got his chance? "
How did Mickey get on this team? He basically was 12th man on the roster
after the nationals and ended up as number 4. Did 8 guys really get hurt
between nationals and the WC's. I guess I find this intriguing. Does
anyone else?
I have to congratulate Mickey for a job well done but have to admit I was
surprised to see his name there.
