Our very own Cropper dental assistants... Jermaine "Mike" Hunt and Jason "JV" Villar have a throw down... 100 meters... mano y mano. At stake, the title of Cropper Dental Fastest Man ALIVE and a wagered "No Work Friday" (the winner enjoys it while the loser works it).
Here they are, with the official race starter, CPT Michael "Jedi" Judi, doing the customary handshake... such sportsmanship...
Tying laces and shrugging off those pre-race jitters, our dental combatants toe the line... "On your mark" "Set" "C-R-A-C-K" (goes the report of CPT Judi's M9... )
Over seeing the finish is our Cropper NCOIC, SGT Francisco "Frank" Martinez... and 100 meters down the track... we have an official winner... it is... Specialist Villar... by a foot!
Check it... JV's shoe in the frame...
Barely breathing, our two Uber Sprinters pose for a post-race photo. In the background is Cropper's own, Johnny Ray "The Judge" Rodriquez... the official course medic and unbiased male cheerleader...
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup...
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup...
Yo Usain... Best keep the day job... !
