Memories make hills higher and runs longer

It’s the first official weekend of spring, and that means we’re about to start South Dakota’s real high-school sports season — track and field. When I was competing for Chamberlain High School half a century ago, we’d finish the basketball season, take a week or so off — no idea why, that’s just the way things went — and then we’d report for track. On the first day of the season, sometimes the coaches would start things out by seeing just what sort of physical condition we were in.
