ou might see us running. We are a pack of boys, tall and short, with long strides and short strides and everything in between. You might see us in a single-file line alongside speeding cars on Drinkwater Road, or in a group on the rocky, treacherous trails of Fort Rock, or on the grassy hills and deep valleys of Scamman’s Farm. But to join the pack, to be a runner, is different. Running predates language. To run is to be human and to feel the agony and joy associated with that state of being. When we run in packs, we can imagine ourselves chasing down gazelles on the plains of Africa. The sun sets the horizon on fire, and we scrunch our foreheads, squinting to see and to keep the salty sting of sweat from our eyes. We pant and lightly thump the ground with our strides. We run for hours until the exhausted beast slumps over, foaming at the mouth. We have been ruthless in our hunt for weak Andover runners. With an undefeated record this season and last, we hope to prey on many more in our quest to defend our title as Interschols champions. —Kieran Scannell ’13
