Boulder Running Camps Contest Voting
Best "What would you do" contest entry
i would be willing to go to new york city, wearing all red sox stuff, and run around yankee stadium for one hour straight, or go to boston, wearing all yankee stuff, and run around fenway park for one hour straight. [ 6 ] ** [1.15%]
i would be willing to run from my home (an hour from Boston, MA) to Boulder for a chance to go to Boulder running camp- thats 1,769.32 miles. For a little more realistic challenge, I would run from my house to Logan Airport (about 30 miles). Anyone up for an ultra? I would die for a chance to go to Boulder. Mags, Jenny B, Mark Wetmore, the Buffalo...im dreaming [ 187 ] ** [35.69%]
For free tuition to Boulder Running Camps i would get my camcorder and call up my coach and some of my teammates or friends and make a short film based on the book: Running with the Buffaloes. I dont know how crazy that is but i think it is pretty legit. And if i ever get a interview for flotrack at any race i am at i will give a personal shout out to Jay and the the staff at Boulder Running Camps and let the camera know how great it was and how much it helped me improve. [ 3 ] ** [0.57%]
Well there are many things I'm willing to do for free tuition to camp. 1. I'm willing to translate for Futsum! 2. Explaining Knock-Knock jokes / The outside world to Lukas Verzbicas. 3. Will wear the same purple-short-shorts throughout camp. 4. Provide entertainment by leading everyone in a sandstorm. (the song by Darude) 5. (Refer to ^ 6) Same with Trevor Dunbar. 6. Going late night wolverine-hunting with Dunbar. (Napoleon Dynamite Reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1u7-0WXbok) 7. Cook up some chicken with the Colonel, Ryan Eaton and James Maglasang. (KFC reference) 8. Room with anybody from the city of Carmel Indiana. (If you know anything about the carmelllll ) runners you will understand how painful that will be.) 9. Willing to room with Rocky Polluck (If you've smelt that cat you know what I'm talking about) 10. Take on Matt Sonneldfelt in a game of Foosball (Footlocker champ.) 11. Take on Solomon Haile in a game of One-on-One basketball. GURANTEE I DUNK ON HIM 12. Contest Lukas in a spelling bee. *TWIST* only spell last names of other runners. 13. Milk-Mile! [ 221 ] ** [42.18%]
I would be willing to do 5 Michigan workouts in a row, drinking milkshakes in between, dressed as baby new year to go to this camp. I don't how much more anyone else is willing to go, but that is one nice deal. [ 4 ] ** [0.76%]
If you would consider me, I will tell you that I would be the most ambitious athlete that you have ever worked with! I will be the first one up every morning with a smile on my face excited about the workouts ahead! I will run around the camp with a bell waking all up to get up and ready for the workouts! I will lead stretching drills and help everyone get the most out of their time at camp. I will also help with cooking and cleaning without complaing too! Most of all when I make the Footlocker All West First team in December in Walnut California, I will thank the BOULDER RUNNING CAMP who helped me become the athlete I am today!! Last year I made the Footlocker All West third team, it is my goal to make the FIRST team this year. Please help me reach my goals! [ 61 ] ** [11.64%]
First off, I'll just start with something partiallyrational You're probably expecting something completely bizzare and wild, but honestly, all I can do to get to Boulder for free is to promise you four days of intense, positive, and complaint free running. Not only do I love meeting people who share the same love of running that I do, but I can't wait to experience the variety and challenge of Boulder's unique terrain. Coming from the small town of O'Fallon IL, running up assorted hills in neighborhoods is about all the excitement my XC team and I get. smile.gif And now for your enjoyment, here are some irrational pledges: I'll wear the same banana suit I wore to XC state as I run through the neighborhood, I'll work off the tuition the old fashioned way; scrubbing dishes, I'll sing the "Barbie Girl" song for the entire duration of a 7 mile run, ill find a pair od zebra-striped spandex and run through the neighborhood belting out "born to be wilddd!!" basically, I'll do ANYTHING. Please, vote, and consider me for your free tution. [ 42 ] ** [8.02%]

Kent Garrett deserves this camp more then anyone. During his freshmen year he helped lead the team and never took advantage of his position. He was on of the top runners. Kent is hard working and will do whatever it takes to do his best. He has humor but is a serious runner and deserves this, he has worked hard and wants to improve his running to the best of his ability. I think if you let him in to Boulder Running Camp it would not only change him but also have an affect on the camp as well. He is a good kid and just wants to learn on how he can improve himself to be a better runner and person.

You gotta pick Kent Garrett. Not only is the kid a stud (2:03 800 as a frosh and a 4:35 full mile at the gala coming in fourth place in a stacked field), but he cares more about running then probably any kid i've ever met. Plus look at what he's willing to do to go to this camp...it's the fourth one down. it's definitely the best reason to win the contest. And with his reason, the kid's obviously funny and provides a lot of personality, something every camp needs. Boulder needs Kent Garrett. And believe me when i say that with a camp like the one in Boulder, Kent could become an all-state competitor in no time.
