What makes them so exciting is their swiftness. The con- stant sprinting and passing of batons cause even the spectators adrenalin to boil. By now the sun is slowly dropp- ing behind the green hills of Dia- mond Bar, and the runners are still on the track. The final races are en- ding and long jump its are now closing. The crowd is tffining as cool breezes swee the stands. Those echloing footsteps that circled the field are now hiking up those famous Diamond Bar stairs. Although the day has ended and the meet is over, itis never quite over for the runner. As the saying goes, HYou can take the runner out of the track, but you can't take the track out of the runner!
