Davis did, and together we walked down the empty hallway with our gym bags hanging from our hands. I showed up that first Saturday morning at the same time Mr. After two weeks, we agreed it wasn't enough and agreed to do Saturdays from 8:00 - 12:00. Track practice would be three times a week after school until 6:00pm. I had to check with my part-time employer, but managed to work it out in order to take on the extra track work. I was asked if I would be interested in stepping into fill his role in the hurdles and as part of school support, the coach would provide some extra private sessions to get me up to speed. One of my team mates had an accident on the weekend and as a result would not be able to run for several months. 'Come in and sit down, Mike' he said quite cordially. Davis was sitting there and both he and the Principal welcomed me into his office.
