The Train's Ride To The Top

Its debatable, but only because some people are stupid. The truth is, the L-train reached its pinnacle during Logan's sophmore year of track. During a meet in Douglas, Logan was enterred to race the mile. What the supervisors of this dirt-track dual meet didn't know was that the L-train was showing up instead. The race went off with true Salpointe domination. Following senior harrier Mike Levario, the Train held in second for three laps as these two distanced themselves from the pack. Coming around with 150 meters to go, the L-Train unleased a rocket-like kick, propelling himself next to Levario's side with only the straightaway left to be covered. The few people actually watching the race were going crazy. Everyone was cheering for Logan. It was like watching Rocky fight the Russian. If you had only compared them on paper, you wouldn't give the kid a chance. But, in the end, the L-Train finished first and communism has not been a problem in the west since...
