Merritt Did It Right

High School runner at Wheeler in Marietta, GA. Was one of my favorite hurdlers to watch.

Ta Da! We could have been finished in the daylight if John wouldn't have forgotten the paint!!!!!!!! They left about ten minutes before the games was supposed to start. I bet they made it. 

Almost done. Karena looks like she's about to pop Deal in the head. That would be funny! 

The numbers are getting painted. It becomes an assembly line -- Jordan paints Cole, Caitlin paints Jordan.... 

Getting close to finshed. Just missing the white paint for the numbers and the names on the back. 

It was a pretty night. This was the "Jesus picture" as Ben called it. 

Brant touches up Jordan's red paint on his back. 

Not sure what Deal's doing here. I hope it's not what it looks like! Is Luis throwing a pass? 

Deal and Luis dry off the paint by the fire. 

Caitlin gets Jordan's back - Maira doesn't help because she goes to school at Ringgold. 

Caitlin draws the numbers - The guys like it when the girls paint them. 

Brant & Jordan 

Brant was home on Fall Break - He helps his brother get painted. 

Magic Markers make the black lines. 

Jordan - paints up as Bolden 

Luis - paints up for Pedro 

Paint Up Night

Jordan crosses the line at 22:42 

Bruner crosses the line. Tough course they tell me. The fastest ever by a DHS runner (of course this is only the first race on the new course).
