Deyrtii sannadkiisii labaad ee MHS, Bruce Johnson waxa uu ka qaybqaatay kooxda kubbadda cagta - haddii la rabo in la waco haynta caqiidada wax ka qabashada asxaabta kooxda si ay uga qaybqaataan.

Qabo, ha welwelin. Ma dhaawaceyno dareenka Bruce.

"Waxaan ahaa xadhiggii afraad ee la tacaalaya xajmi-haye-maaha xadhiggii kowaad, balse afraad," ayuu ku kaftamay. "Hadii uu jiri lahaa boos orodka fog, markaas waxaan ahaan lahaa ciyaaryahan kubad fiican."

Gu'gii xigay, isagoo dhiirigelin ka helaya Lynn Kravfe, oo ahaa tababaraha labada waddan ee isku-tallaabta ee MHS iyo kooxihii garoonka ee waqtigaas, Johnson wuxuu helay wacitaankiisa ciyaaraha: orodka fogaanta.

Deyrtiisii ugu horeysay ee orodka isdhaafka wadankisa sanadka yar, Johnson kaliya uma qalmin kulanka gobolka balse waxa uu ku dhameystay kaalinta todobaad - Skippers, koox ahaan, ayaa qaatay seddexaad. Gugii xigay waxa uu ahaa nin aad ugu wanagsan wadada loo maro, inkastuu ku guul daraystay in uu sheego ka dib markii uu kaalinta sadexaad ku dhamaystay is araga gobolka oo uu ka danbeeyay laba ka mid ah mas'uuliyiinta sare ee gobolka.

Isaga oo u socda sannadkiisii sare, Johnson waxaa loo tixgeliyey mid ka mid ah orodyahannada fogaanta dugsiga sare ee gobolka. Sida ay noqotay, waxa uu la soo baxay xafiiltan adag oo uu la galay orodyahan ka socda St. Paul Monroe, Pat Kelly.

Kelly waxa uu ka helay isaga sida ugu wanagsan 1965-kii kulankii waddan-goboleedka. “Hal mar tartankaas waxa aan yara lumiyay feejignaantii, markii aan sameeyay riixitaankii ugu dambeeyay aad ayay ii daahday, waxaana ku dhameystay kaalinta labaad, koox ahaan, waxaan markale ku dhameysanay kaalinta saddexaad, inkastoo nalagu qiimeeyay kaalinta 1-aad. "

Ma jirin wax feejignaan ah oo ku saabsan qaybta Johnson ee 1966-kii ee kullankii gobolka ee Macalester College. Kaliya maaha inuu Kelly ugu wacnaa in ka badan ilbiriqsi si uu u qabto mile-ka, laakiin waqtigiisa 4 daqiiqo iyo 17.2 sekan ayaa ahaa kii ugu wacnaa ee MHS' taarikhda orodka & garoonka ilaa 2003.

Johnson wuxuu u qaaday guushiisa St. Cloud State, halkaas oo uu ahaa waddan iskutallaab ah oo NAIA oo dhan-Mareykan ah sannadkiisii ugu horreeyay. Waxa kale oo uu kaalinta labaad ka galay tartanka 1,000-yard ee tartanka ciyaaraha gudaha ee qaranka.

Kabiyeyaasha Shin ayaa soo gaabiyay xirfaddiisa orodka. "Weli waxaan dib u milicsadaa maalmihii aan ku jiray Minnetonka cross-land waxaanan ula socdaa kooxaha sida wakhti fiican oo noloshayda ah," ayuu yidhi Johnson, oo ah macalin hawlgab ah oo wakhti badan ku bixiya safarka xaaskiisa, Judy. "Waagaas, orodka fogaantu wuxuu ahaa nooc nerdy ah, markaa dhamaanteen orodyahanadu wax badan ayaan wada joognay."
