Rain comes off Tom Kirby’s nose and chin in rivulets.

The Mount Si senior was soaked, but still in high spirits, after winning the mile race in a downpour during the Wildcats’ home track meet, Thursday, April 4, with the Juanita Rebels.

Kirby, who also placed fifth in the 800-meter race on this cold day, is one of a big group of Mount Si teens totally immersed in motion. They won’t stop moving, despite rain or setbacks.

Kirby loves the adrenaline that comes in a race, as well as the broad team-oriented mindset.

“You set all these goals,” Kirby said. “You prove you can do it.”

Between warm-ups on the tarmac, Peter Link slicks his hand back through rain-spiked hair, explaining his own competitive drive.

Link was powering up to push for a new high in the discus. Sure enough, high fives followed his hurl, as Link met and blew through his goal of 120 feet, adding eight inches to that.

“I like to win. I just go for it,” says Mount Si junior Karlie Hurley. She was the team’s winningest member Thursday, putting up firsts in the 200 and 400 meter dash and the long jump.
