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 saaxiibada kooxda si ay uga qaybqaataan.

Qabo, ha welwelin. Ma dhaawaceyno dareenka Bruce.

"Waxaan ahaa xadhiggii afraad ee la tacaalaya xajmi-haye - ma ahan xadhiggii kowaad, laakiin afraad," ayuu ku kaftamay. "Hadii uu jiri lahaa booska orodka fogaanta, markaas waxaan ahaan lahaa ciyaaryahan kubad fiican."

Gu'gii xigay, iyadoo dhiirri-gelin ka timid Lynn Kravfe, oo ah tababaraha labada waddan ee isku-tallaabta ee MHS-ta iyo kooxaha orodada & garoonka, Johnson wuxuu helay wacitaankiisa ciyaaraha: orodka fogaanta.

Deyrtiisi ugu horeysay ee orodka isdhaafka wadankiisa sanadkiisii yaraa, Johnson kaliya uma qalmin kulanka gobolka balse wuxuu ku dhameystay kaalinta todobaad - Skippers, koox ahaan, ayaa qaatay seddexaad. Gugii xigay waxa uu ahaa nin aad ugu wanaagsan wadada dheer ee orodka, inkastuu ku guul daraystay in uu sheego ka dib markii uu kaalinta sadexaad ku dhameeyay is aragii 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 ee 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. "

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 wax ka badan ilbiriqsi si uu u qabto mayl-ka, laakiin waqtigiisa 4 daqiiqo iyo 17.2 sekan ayaa ahaa kii ugu wacnaa ee MHS' taarikhda orodka & garoon ilaa 2003.

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

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