You know who they are. They’re either on the track running laps, on the court shooting hoops, or in Pagel lifting. From protein shakes to pasta parties, to even that occasional hefty steak, they know more about health than Thorp, Stephan, and Schuett combined. Their head is always in the game. Were you curious about that Eagles vs. Panthers football game? These sports nerds can rattle off stats from every player in precisely three minutes. Even if they don’t have professional stats memorized, then just take a look at their personal stats and you will be equally amazed. The athletes at our school spend hours a day perfecting their skills, and the work doesn’t stop at practice. An immeasurable amount of time is spent studying professionals, creating new plays, and thinking of strategies to beat their opponent. Despite all the jokes about getting “buge,” Minnetonka’s jocks are the backbone of our athletics. How else are we going to know about the white-out at tonight’s game if not for screaming athletes with whiteboards? Who else is going to get us pumped for every event and keep us together, win or lose? So, this one is for all you jocks out there – keep doing you.
