Outdoor season is just a few weeks away here in Florida (let's hope it warms up by then!) and teams all around the state will are beginning their workouts to gear up. And I'm gearing up here at flrunners as well.

Joseph Franklin won the boys mile race with a time of 4:21.72, five seconds ahead of Alex Wills who was his closest competitor. Kaitlin Shiver\'s win was much closer, beating out Jackie Drouin of Georgia by just .45 with a time of 4:58.49.

Competition runs deep in the veins of Americans. We tend to turn everything into a contest. Out of that competitive drive (and a love for both track & field and Mexican food) has arisen the new sport soon to be sweeping the nation: the Burrito Mile. This event is a perfect union of speed eating and running (and as a side effect also tends to be quite messy).

Daisey Glasser, Hailey Neal, Joe Franklin, Teona Rodgers, Shataya Hendricks, and Christal Washington has stellar performances to open the 2007 track season. They competed unattached at the Florida Intercollegiate Indoor Championship meet at the University of Florida.
