First in the preliminaries, in his heat, he looked like a champion
and in the semi-final he seemed to have wings. And guess what?
He had just run the 800 meter relay only 15 minutes earlier, and
gave his camp the margin that won 2nd place. And 15 minutes
later he flew, yes, he flew, in the finals of the 200 meter and again
was way out front to win in the unbelievable time of 27 seconds.
Clinton's a champ all the way, not only because he won his
race, but because his track career began only after becoming a
P.0.W. In fact, this is his second time running. Who .can tell
how much speed he will produce after perfecting his form in the
future! Watch this champion!!!
Clinton, in bringing victory to his camp, raised the points of
his camp to the top, bettered only by Camp 5. He stated, "My
only regret is that I am not playing football so I could help add
to another victory, but our camp football team is so good that,
as well as I play the game, I couldn't qualify".
