Meet Alexis. Unlike you, she has COURAGE. She has the COURAGE to be a high school hurdler, yes—but she also has the COURAGE to be the absolute WORST high school hurdler in the history of high school hurdlers (if you don’t count the girl in red right next to her). Congratulations, Alexis! Blogtown salutes your COURAGE. (Now maybe you should try out for band? The flute section needs a third chair.)

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  3. Wow, I could watch these girls all day. And I don’t mean it in a creepy sexual way either. I just like watching people trip over things.

  6. I can’t tell if she’s crying or laughing at herself.

    That reminds me of the time I was in the high jump at a track meet in junior high. And the day before the event I bought some super heavy skateboarding shoes. At the meet I couldn’t jump over the first rung they set it to. I was eliminated right away. Then afterward I was like, “oh wait, my shoes…”

  9. Red Shirt’s actually a worse hurdlerist. I feel like Alexis is from drama club and just filling in. I mean, look at that girl! She takes a fall like her lover rejected her marriage proposal or something.

  11. Oh, that’s nothing. When I was in middle school I was running the hurdles and I wore some super light running shorts that had a liner — ie, no underwear needed. Allegedly. I was hopping over them one by one and walking the other way were these two cute, popular girls. So of course, my dick flops out. Try being a 7th grader whose dick just said “hello” to two of the most popular blabber-mouths in school. I WISH I would have fallen on my face.
