Omar on the Left Coast

Our boy Omar Perez is spending the summer in California, doing all sorts of environmental/trail stuff out there. We'll have him fill us in completely on the adventure in the fall. I think this photo was taken in Santa Cruz, a funky coast town that Justin Harris and I visited way back in 2002, when he qualified for the USATF Junior Championships at Stanford. Speaking of which! We have four athletes traveling to California in two weeks for the Juniors (more on that in future posts?). Anyway! We miss Omar. Aside from being a loyal and dedicated team member for four years and 12 full seasons (including a senior season as team captain), we were so accustomed to seeing him around the McCann Center during the summer months as part of Randy's Crew. So, it's odd not having Omar around. Even though he graduated a few weeks ago, he'll be back for a fifth year of track eligibility, and we couldn't be happier with this. Be safe out there, Omar!
